29th Day of the
28th Year!
29th Day of The 1st month (Abib)
02-03-2007
7th Day of the week, which is called Saturday!
Be exalted, O Lord! Be magnified with us! Blessed are You, O Lord Most Holy! Daily and at all times, we shall bless You!
Fasting: For what reason have we fasted, say they, and You don't acknowledge it? For what reason have we afflicted our soul, and You don't notice it?
Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your labors. Behold, you fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness! You shall not fast as you do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. Is it such a fast that I have chosen: a day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bands of wickedness; to undo the heavy burdens; and to let the oppressed go free; and that you break every yoke? Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry; and, that you bring the poor, that are cast out, to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you hide not yourself from your own flesh?
Then shall your Light break forth as the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily: and, your righteousness shall go before you; and, the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Then shall you call, and the LORD shall answer! You shall cry, and He shall say, Here I am.
If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; and, if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your Light rise in obscurity, and your darkness be as the noonday: and, the LORD shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your bones: and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
And they that shall be of you shall build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Dieting: It only benefits you, so that you can look good: but, it does not always assure your health! It is selfishness!
