Isaiah 58

Read Isaiah 58 straight through.

Have you had times of turning away from the poor or the hungry? Why did you?

Sometimes we are skeptical of the "poor" in our culture. What has caused us to have this attitude (whether legitimately or not)?

If God were to write a letter to Cornerstone Church in the same manner as Isaiah 58, what do you think He would point out to us?

As believers we tend to "pick and choose" the things we want to obey in the Bible. Can you think of things that are relatively easy for you to obey? What are the things that are difficult for you to obey?

Over one-half of the chapter is God's promise to restore and reward His people. Sometimes we miss this - we find ourselves focusing on the verses that point out our guilt. God wants to draw us to the truth with promises of joy and refreshment and strength. It is AWESOME to walk with God and obey His Word. Pray for one another to that end.
