Repairer of Broken Walls
This is a passage that is engraved on my heart. It is also the perfect mission statement for my team in Cambodia. I want to wake up every morning with this as the focus.
“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen
to loose the chains of injustice and untie the chords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to 
provide the poor wander with shelter-
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
and to not turn away from your own flesh and blood?
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.
Then you will call, and the Lord with answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say:
‘Here am I.’
If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger and malicious talk,
and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the
needs of the oppressed,
Then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become lie the noonday.
The Lord will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will
strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.
Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age old foundations;
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,
Restorer of Streets with Dwelling.”
-Isaiah 58: 6-12
Thank you for this Lauren. I pray this for the team and for all those with a desire to go where He goes.
