Isaiah 58 - Day 544

Isaiah 58 - Day 544 (link to today's reading)

Scripture: Isaiah 58:8

Commentary (bethmelekh.com): Israel had complained that God was not hearing them. Thus, God explained to them the hypocrisy of their practise and the reason that they were not being blessed or rewarded for it. Now, having given Israel a pattern for godly fasting, He also gives them a promise for the progression of blessing and renewal that will result from their repentance and godly actions.

Application: God is more concerned with who we are becoming than what we are doing.  Do I like who I am becoming?

Prayer: Lord, sanctify me with You Holy Spirit...
