Your darkness will be as noonday (Isaiah 58)

This verse has been on repeat in my head over the last few weeks. It’s from one of my favorite passages where God tells us what a true fast is. It isn’t about food; it’s about living a selfless life.

Tell the Devil to Flee!

Then the pastor repeated something I knew. Something that had been planted long ago and receives regular watering.
