"... If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry, satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like noonday. The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs... you will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." Isaiah 58:9-11
WOW - These verses in Isaiah give us the secret to getting out, and staying out, of ruts in life. I'm in!! Are you? I hope so!
So, let's put the steps in a nutshell, so that we can easily remember:
Rid ourselves of any and all evil within us - How? By forgiving ourselves and others and giving it, and/or them, to God;
Help the hungry, the needy, the lonely, the oppressed;
Finally, keep our mouths shut if any derogatory, or negative, or slander-type words are about to come out of it, which is, more or less, gossip, hate, dislike, slanderish, offensive, hurtful, or negative words.
Yep, three simple steps - steps we should easily be able to do, to turn our lives around. So, begin with me today to hold ourselves accountable to this, because if we truly want a blessed, amazing, abundant, fulfilling life, then these steps are a must, God's Word wouldn't say it if they weren't.
I know my life is never going to be the same! How about you? Are you ready? If so, then, grab hold, and let's do this together in Christ - we will not be disappointed.
