Isaiah 58
Dear RTB’ers,
Isaiah writing as if Israelites were speaking: Why have we fasted, and You see it not? Why have we humbled ourselves, and You take no knowledge of it? (v. 3a) Integrity test here – am I (are we) like the Israelites of old, fully confident in my (our) own righteousness, expecting God to acknowledge and affirm my (our) supplications? Might there be a better way to approach our holy God? Humility, contrition, thanksgiving, prayer, praise…? Maybe… Not my will, but your will be done.
Blessings!
