“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?” (Isaiah 58:6 NIV)
It is shocking to think that slavery is still a major problem in our world in the form of the human trafficking of women and children, making sex slaves to satisfy the insatiable lust of a sex-saturated culture. Women are not safe to go into a store or get into a car without fear of being snatched. Children are not safe from this hideous perverted bondage when going to and from school or playing in their own yard. Thank God for those who are involved in any way in stopping this and finding ways by rescue and legislation to bring it to an end. Lord, what would you have me to do to break these chains?
From “Growing Toward Maturity”, by H. Lamar Smith.
