It Is Really What God Wants!


'It Is Really What God Wants.'
Isaiah 58:1-7.
a)  Isaiah 58:1. This is something that needs to be loudly told. God's people needed to be confronted about their sins.
b)  Isaiah 58:2-3. God's people liked to show religious appearance:-
1-Seeking God.
2-Wanting to know God's Will.
3-Seeking the Ordinances of God.
4-Delighting in approaching God.
5-Fasting and afflicting their souls.
c)  Isaiah 58:3. God said that their desires were all selfish and that they exploited all of their workers.
d)  Isaiah 58:4. Their fasting was accompanied by:-
1-Strife.
2-Debate.
3-Argument.
4-Brawl.
d)  Isaiah 58:4. They were hitting others with a fist of wickedness.
e)  Isaiah 58:4. They were fasting, trying to make their voices heard in Heaven.
f)  Isaiah 58:5. God did not want their false humility.
g)  Isaiah 58:6-7. This is the fast that God wants:-
1-Remove the bonds and chains of wickedness.
2-Remove the burdensome yolk.
3-Set free the oppressed.
4-Share our food with the hungry.
5-Provide shelter for homeless and oppressed people.
6-Clothing those people who have no clothes.
7-Not turning our backs on our own flesh and blood.
(This QT causes me to confess: It Is Really What God Wants!)

Debate is not always the best way to resolve problems. Yes, sometimes there needs to be debate, especially in conflict resolution. If debate is not handled well it can become a source of division and bitterness. It is good for us to follow Biblical Principles when dealing with problem resolution.
