What an incredible time of fasting it has been.. Giving up (whatever it is you have fasted) and in exchange received moreeee of HIM!!! WOW!
Isaiah 58 has been a wonderful time to learn more about his fast rather then our own notion of fasting! Something that really encouraged me this week was:
Verse 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?
How amazing is our God, he unties the yokes!!! So that we can be set free! Wahoo finally, freedom from those things that have held us bound. Free from the lies, free from sin, free from the past, free from those nagging things that keep trying to attack! I know sometimes though we can grow very acquainted to those yokes, especially when they have been a part of us for so long, maybe a particular lie you believed or a habit you became very accustomed too? Sometimes it can even be tempting to go back to those yokes and become best friends again, BUT not only does he untie us from those yokes, HE BREAKS THEM!!!! Once he has untied them we do not have to go back, we are free and can move forward and embrace true freedom!
I pray today that what ever yoke you have bee untied from, allow him to BREAK it, when its untied it not meant to be hung in the closet so we can come back to put it on later. He wants to untie it and break it! Today as he continues to untie may you enjoy seeing him break it too pieces, and as you give him those ashes enjoy his beauty!!!
Like the song says “He is here, he is here, to break the yoke and lift the heavy burden”.
