I think many of us should turn a corner today regarding how hungry and tired we feel. Seems as though by the 4th day our bodies make some adjustments to the fact that there's no food being brought in. So, hopefully all of us are feeling a bit better today. I am very excited about what God is doing in our souls through this time. We will all look back at this journey and realize some special things wrought in our hearts by the Lord. Let's keep drawing near to His presence.
The 3rd thing Isaiah mentions in chapter 58:6 is about "letting the oppressed go free." This is so powerful! That word oppressed means "break, bruise, crush, discourage, oppress, struggle." Do you think there is any of this stuff that works in our lives at times? How about the people around us here on the Peninsula? You betcha! As we fast, may the broken be healed. As we fast, may those bruised in their souls be healed. As we fast, may the crushed recover. As we fast, may the discouraged be encouraged in Jesus name. As we fast, may the oppressed and struggling be set free by God's mighty power! God is moving. Let's be encouraged and continue to press into His awesome presence.
