Verse and Voice – Sojourners – 27 August 2019

Verse of the day

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? 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 him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? – Isaiah 58:6-7

Voice of the day

We cannot create what we can’t imagine. – Lucille Clifton

Prayer of the day

You know all that has been, is, and is yet to come, Lord. Expand our minds to imagine a world that is reflective of your kingdom, and guide us as we take steps toward your vision of unity and love.
