v3. ‘Why have we fasted,’ they say,
‘and you have not seen it?
Why have we humbled ourselves,
and you have not noticed?’
“Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please
and exploit all your workers.
and exploit all your workers.
v12. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins
and will raise up the age-old foundations;
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

I am on the 6th day of a 21 day fast. I have been skipping breakfast and only drinking water and juice until noon each day. Why am I fasting? The pastor at my new church, New Birth, called for the church to fast. But why am I fasting? Well, my fiancee Yeye started a fast, and since both she and the church were fasting, I decided to join in solidarity. But why am I fasting? Well, I need guidance. I want to know my calling in life. I want to have vision for my vocation. Heck, I could use a car too. But why am I fasting? Well, I want God to notice me. But based on this chapter in Isaiah, it sounds as if he needs me to notice others first.Who have I been overlooking?
Teach me God how to truly fast. Amen.
God got you a car that same year! You pose great questions.Can't to read what God answered or what silence has felt like.
