Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully Feast in Ezra 9. God’s
people suffer for not obeying God. They took wives and husbands
from people who worshipped false gods and idols. “13 And after all that has come
upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, seeing that you, our God,
have punished us less than our iniquities deserved and have given us such a remnant
as this, 14 shall we break your commandments again and intermarry
with the peoples who practice these abominations? Would you not be angry with
us until you consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor
any to escape? 15 O Lord, the God of Israel, you
are just, for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is today.
Behold, we are before you in our guilt, for none can stand before
you because of this.”” Ezra
9:13-15, English Standard Version (ESV). God had instructed
the people not to mingle with idolaters. Here we see the state of sinners who
have turned their back on God and have now allowed the sins of their spouses
to come between them and their God. This remnant is standing
before God confessing their sins. They are standing before God with no
defense for their actions. Saints we stand before God with no
defense for our sinful life. Because we are truly repentant and
accepting Jesus’ sacrifice for our sin we are justified by Jesus. We
should never fall back into sin by marrying outside of our faith. “14 Do not be unequally yoked with
unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what
fellowship has light with darkness?” 2
Corinthians 6:14, ESV. That is the point of today’s
Feast. Light cannot dwell with darkness. The darkness
will flee from before the light. The only way to make a lighted
room dark is to remove the light. The only way a saint can live in
harmony with a sinner is to turn their back on Jesus! If the Lord is willing I will send and post
the Feast again tomorrow.
Is Jesus is calling out to you? Do you hear that small voice
calling; sinner com home? Do you want to choose good over evil? If
the answer is yes please click the following link; admenu.com/calling.html.
