“and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:”
Isaiah 58:10 KJV
Isaiah prophesied concerning sincere fasting before God with right motives. We are to offer ourselves in compassion to the hungry and relieve those in misery, then our dawning light will rise in the darkness and our gloom will turn into noonday splendour! This prophecy was much before socialism or any form of governance purporting to meet the needs of the poor and miserable came into existence. Many who have believed in the Blood sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ are committed to banish every form of oppression in our lives, churches, and society; remove scornful accusation of others and their ministries; forbid to spread malicious slander; have passion for the poor and disenfranchised; comfort those enduring suffering and tragedy. This is how Jesus works through His Body, the Church and His light through us shines in noonday splendour. Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to shine as Jesus shines! Amen!
