Scripture:
"They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people understood what was being read...Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and teacher of the Law, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to them all, “This day is holy to the Lord your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law. Nehemiah 8:8-9 (NIV) Application: First thing: read and understand the Word, and by all means, seek a reliable and honest pastor who will make the Word plain for anyone to understand. Next: be convicted. See the gap between what God expects of us and where we stand. Ultimately: celebrate. Why? Because God will close that gap, if we're sincere and respectful. Prayer: We seek Your Word and guidance in everything we do, Father God. Amen. Comments are closed.
