Breaking the Yoke

√UV 3717/10000 Breaking the Yoke Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; You will cry for help, and He will say, “ Here I am.” If you take away from your midst the yoke (of oppression), the finger pointed in scorn ( toward the oppressed or the godly), and (every form of ) wicked ( sinful, unjust) speech. Isaiah 58 v 9 When our lives please the Lord, He will hear our call, our cry for help. He will rush to our side and flash His light on our faces to take away the gloom, the sadness, the source of anxiety. He takes away the yoke or bondage of suppression, oppression and repression that our enemies subject us to. He will deal justly and swiftly with those who point a finger or falsely accuse, despise the godly, the righteous by faith and grace. He will set us free from every type of wickedness, insults, humiliation, exploitation. THe Lord removes some heavy yokes from our lives even while lightening our burden or yoke by answering our cry for help. The Lord gives us abundant provision and perfect protection against the unjust, the wicked, the violent, the oppressive, the cruel, the scornful, the insolent and proud. He will continually guide us, satisfy our souls in sun-scorched places. He strengthen and establishes our foundation of whatever we do so that we are secure and strong in Him. He makes us like a fenced, well watered fruit garden that produces a different fruit and blessing every month. He makes us like an eternal spring that never dries up, whose water never fails. His word is the veritable spring water that never fails to quench our thirst and hunger for righteousness, for God Himself. Our bones will never dry up as it is moist with hope in Christ. The Lord will use us to rebuild His temple, to rebuild the relationship between God and man. Hence, we are called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer. He will use us to rebuild the ruins as He runs our lives. We will take pleasure in doing the Father’s will in all that we do or attempt to do. He will cause His light to break out in our lives like the dawn and make us shine like the noon day sun. His righteousness will be our vanguard, the pilot that clears the path before us even as His protective glory will be our rear guard or escort. We need to show our gratitude for the abundance of His provision by sharing what the Lord has blessed us with the needy, the homeless, the poor, the challenged, the destitutes. We need to show our thankfulness to the Lord for the perfection of His protection by being a shade to the homeless. We become extensions of God’s hand of provision and protection to the hungry, needy, broken, homeless, weak, helpless.
