Ezra 8-10
Inspired thots
The return of the exiled Israelites caused a MAJOR clean up by Ezra the prophet as many of God's people including the priests and Levites had married foreign wives; thus, defiling themselves. Ezra interceded for his people on this matter to cleanse themselves before God who brought them back to worship in Jerusalem.
Ezra identified with the sins of the people and interceded with them in prayer and fasting; he is ashamed to stand before God as he acknowledged Israel's sins have mounted up to the heavens. (9:6) But God is a merciful God who hears and receives a repentant heart. When one has sinned, it is important to REALIZE the guilt and REPENT immediately before the Lord with weeping and confession to RETURN to God.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
