This passage struck me as what a poor job I do in helping others with how much I have. The first part of the chapter it talks about how people fast and yet have issues with others and dont help the ones that really need help O this is Isaha 58 guess I should have posted that part.
6 Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
I think that it is so easy to get overwhelmed by all the people that need help in the world and get defeated.
