Isaiah 58:7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

Is there any denying He has given His bread to the hungry? Any denying He has brought the poor that are cast out into His tabernacle? Has He covered the naked?

Has He hid himself from His own flesh?

John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Consider the promise in surely “that you hide not thyself from your own flesh.” Ephesians 5:29-30 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: [30] For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

Consider how it is impossible for God to lie and to hate His own flesh ...but He nourishes and cherishes it. Proverbs 11:17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

[35] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 9:8-9
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: [9] (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
“Seek First the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.” 2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

Isaiah 58:7 New International Version (NIV)

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 them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
