Day 12: New Clothing
That old life is like a filthy set of ill-fitting clothes you’ve stripped off and put in the fire. Now you have put on a new wardrobe. Every item of your new way of life is custom-made by the Creator, with His label on it. All the old fashions are obsolete. Words like Jewish and…

Day 5: God’s Fast
You say, “Why have we fasted and You have not been impressed? Why have we been hard on ourselves and You have not even noticed?” I, the LORD, say, “Because you are fasting to please yourselves and even while you are fasting, you oppress your workers. What good is your fasting if it ends in…
