Scripture for today:
Ezra 5; Ezra 6; Psalm 138; Luke 16
Scripture-My special verse today:
Ezra 6:19 On the fourteenth day of the first month, the exiles celebrated the Passover. 20 The priests and Levites had purified themselves and were all ceremonially clean. The Levites slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the exiles, for their brothers the priests and for themselves. 21 So the Israelites who had returned from the exile ate it, together with all who had separated themselves from the unclean practices of their Gentile neighbors in order to seek the LORD, the God of Israel. 22 For seven days they celebrated with joy the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because the LORD had filled them with joy by changing the attitude of the king of Assyria, so that he assisted them in the work on the house of God, the God of Israel.
Observation:
The Israelites were celebrating because they believed God had changed the attitude of the King of Assyria. They had an all out party. God had worked on their behalf to continue to rebuild the temple that Solomon had built because David was not allowed. Their party lasted a week.
Application:
When circumstances go our way, do we immediately think God has anything to do with it. What is the use praying if we believe that God does not answer prayer. So many time sin life God has intervened on my behalf and I failed to throw a party as a witness. A witness in what he can do in my life.
Prayer: Empower me to throw parties on behalf of an awesome God!
