—Ezra 10:1-12
by: Gem Barton.
The Israelites had, again, disobeyed one of God’s commands. They had married women from the nations which God had forbidden them to take wives. They were conscious of their disobedience and wanted to make amends. Quite often, our sin consciousness makes us aware of our wrongdoing. What do you do when you know you are outside the will of God? When King David was convinced of his sin, he repented and pleaded with God not to take His Holy Spirit away (Psalm 51:2-4). Is there any behavior in your life that is separating you from God? What will you do to make it right?
