Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Isaiah 58
1. Shout it aloud, do not hold back.
Raise your voice like a trumpet.
Declare to my people their rebellion
and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.
2. For day after day they seek me out;
they seem eager to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that does what is right
and has not forsaken the commands of its God.
They ask me for just decisions
and seem eager for God to come near them.
3. 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.
4. Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife,
and in striking each other with wicked fists.
You cannot fast as you do today
and expect your voice to be heard on high.
5. Is this the kind of fast I have chosen,
only a day for people to humble themselves?
Is it only for bowing ones head like a reed
and for lying in sackcloth and ashes?
Is that what you call a fast,
a day acceptable to the Lord?
6. 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?
7. 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 them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
8. 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.
9. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger and malicious talk,
10. and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.
11. The Lord will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.
12. 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.
13. If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath
and from doing as you please on my holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a delight
and the Lords holy day honorable,
and if you honor it by not going your own way
and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,
14. then you will find your joy in the Lord,
and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land
and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Oh My....Today's Passage From Our Study in Isaiah is VERY difficult to ponder.
It is a serious indictment against those who perform religious practices (such as fasting and praying) without having the important connection to God in the Heart.
Excessive Piety which LACKS the Fruit of the Spirit ( LOVE, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control)is not pleasing to God, according to this passage. Even worse, according to Isaiah, are those who do religious acts, but who don't care about those who are suffering.
But for those who "Walk the Walk as well as the Talk" God promises Restoration and Peace.
The Lord will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.
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.
Come and Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

You know how when you read certain Scriptures the meaning goes deeper (as it ought). I love when that happens. I experienced it with Isaiah 58! Thanks!
I know I’ve said it in the past, but I do enjoy and appreciate the photos you place in the Garden of Prayer.
*Excessive Piety* is really focusing on oneself.... to be something.
