It Hit me

These verses "Hit Me" this morning.

So relevant.  So alive. 

I have a friend whose dad is losing his battle with cancer.  She said she keeps reading him scripture even though he is unresponsive. 

"It is hard though, the words on the page are so relevant and there are regrets.  The tears just come."

Keep reading, keep reading....


“Is not this the 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?


Is it not to share your food with the hungry

and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—

when you see the naked, to clothe him,

and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?


Then your light will break forth like the dawn,

and your healing will quickly appear;

then your righteousness will go before you,

and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.



~Isa. 58:3-8
