Isaiah 58:6
"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?
What exactly is a yoke? Websters says: a wooden frame for harnessing together a pair of oxen. Bondage, servitude. Something that binds, unites
When we fast, all the stuff in our lives that are holding us down comes to the surface. We need to break free and so we are able to walk in His will. This devotion today is simple. What is your yoke? What are the chains binding you? Make a list of EVERYTHING that is oppressing you, the things that are an injustice, the addictions binding you. Pray over them, for God will break every one. God wants to set us free. I believe He is just waiting for us to ask.
