Scripture: "I rebuked them and called curses down on them. I beat some of the men and pulled out their hair. I made them take an oath in God’s name and said: “You are not to give your daughters in marriage to their sons, nor are you to take their daughters in marriage for your sons or for yourselves. Nehemiah 13:25 (NIV) Application: When we constantly backslide, the consequences get worse. In addition, to get back on track, we have to take more drastic actions to keep ourselves from repeating the same mistakes. Let's pray that we won't have to receive, or give, such harsh discipline as Nehemiah did in order to preserve ourselves and our families as pure vessels for God. Prayer: Father, we're grateful that the Bible is brutally honest about human nature. We pray that we can stay within the bounds of decency, and help others do the same. Amen. Comments are closed.
