以賽亞書58章3-9節
神的小僕人
經文:
3 他們說:我們禁食,你為何不看見呢?我們刻苦己心,
4 你們禁食,卻互相爭競,以凶惡的拳頭打人。你們今日禁食,
5 這樣禁食,豈是我所揀選使人刻苦己心的日子嗎?
6 我所揀選的禁食,不是要鬆開兇惡的繩,解下軛上的索,
7 不是要把你的餅,分給飢餓的人,將飄流的窮人,接到你家中,
8 這樣,你的光就必發現如早晨的光,你所得的醫治,要速速發明,
9 那時你求告,耶和華必應允,你呼求,他必說:我在這裡。
以色列人禁食禱告,但卻成了宗教行為,
反觀今天的我們不也是一樣嗎?我們每星期也許會上教會敬拜神,
禱告:
天父,這段經文告訴我們要願意將我們所有的分享給人,
Isaiah 58:3-9
The Israelites fasted and appeared religious. Yet Isaiah plainly told them their problems. They practised religion but had no hearts for others. They were harsh on others, pointing fingers with malicious motives. Real fasting is humbling ourselves before God, obeying His will and His purposes.
We are the same today. We worship God weekly and yet we don’t care about others, taking no notice on the needs of others. This is not Christianity and not the will of our God.
Share with others what we have, attending to the needs of others, we are living in the will of God.
