Isaiah 1: 16-17

"Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow."

The prophet Isaiah was right on track when it came to God's heart for the people and his heartache for the state of the world. Leading up to this verse, God is talking about not wanting anymore "futile sacrifices" from His people. God had had enough of burnt offerings, and after expressing His frustration with pointless rituals (through the man Isaiah), he lays out in the above verses what He really does want. The sacrifices God wants from us have moved from ritualistic "religious" ones, to sacrifices of the heart, and taking physical action against the injustices in the world today.

Spend some time with Jesus and get your heart right. Align your mind and opinions with the Bible's, and get out there and take action against evil. Spend your time, money and energy doing good and fixing people's lives. It's always one life at a time, so don't be discouraged. It could be your neighbors, or it could be a tribe in Africa. Look after the lonely people. Stick up for those with no one to defend them: beg for justice to those who need it. God needs people to fight off the oppressive ones in the world that bring darkness and grief to humanity.
