God’s Grace to His Surviving Children

DAY 149
2-20-10
EZRA 8-9


Good Morning!

Ezra tears his clothes and pulls out his hair in grief and embarrassment after finding out the remnant of Israelites has intermarried with pagans and promoted their detestable ways. Even though he is ashamed, he praises God for his grace. They’ll have to suffer the consequences, but Ezra acknowledges God’s grace for their sin. 
From Ezra 9:8-9 “We have been given a brief moment of grace”…
• God has allowed a few of us to survive.
• He has given us security.
• God has brightened our eyes and granted us some relief.
• His unfailing love did not abandon us.
• He caused kings to treat us favorably.
• He revived us.
• He has given us a protective wall.

Look at your life and confess your sins and confidently ask God for his grace. Open your eyes and notice everything God gives in our brief moment of grace.



Just more to be thankful about!
