Is. 58:10
"If you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday."
There is significant overlap between the 10,000 "unreached people groups" without a church in their midst and the "hungry half" of the world without adequate physical and material resources. Isaiah reminds us that the people of God are called not only to spend their money to feed the hungry, but also to spend themselves, to pour out their lives in sacrificial service. That service cannot be a mere token. It must "satisfy the needs" of the oppressed. Isaiah also points out that those who serve receive the fruits of service: healing, answered prayer, guidance, personal provision, and joy.
Gracious Father, teach us to "spend ourselves" on behalf of those who are desperately hungry both for bread and the Bread of Life
