"They seem eager to know my way."
"They seem eager for God to come near them"
"Why have we fasted, they say, and you have not seen it?
Why have we humbled ourselves, and yo have not noticed?" (Isaiah 58:2)
The Israel tried to please God through religious rituals and pray for God to satisfy their own sinful desires.
However, what does God think about all these religious rituals?
True fasting
"Is not this kind of fasting i have chosen to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?" (Isaiah 58:6)
"Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wander with shelter-when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?"(Isaiah 58:7)
God looks our heart , not the religious ritual.
God always enables us to do what He want us to do.
True fasting means to show mercy to the needed from the bottom from our heart..
To share your food with the hungry. It's not hard ! Since you are fasting, share the meal that you are fasting with the hungry. God always enables us to what He asks us to do!
