Why have we fasted, and you see it not?
Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it?’
Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure. (Isa 58:3)
FATHER, my reading in Isaiah (54-57), so much beauty, such amazing words of comfort and assurance, how blessed I am to be Your servant. But I must confess, it reading the above, I found a pang of guilt or conviction – that I seek to much my own pleasure rather than seeking to meet the needs of “others”.
Not that we want bad things, but that we want things to badly.
It is a matter of perspective, and I need You to change mine. You have blessed my life way more than I deserve, perhaps more than I can handle – Please FATHER, create in me that attitude of gratitude and heart for others. More of You, Lord and less of me.
