Today's Scripture *November 20, 2009*
Ezra 1: 5
Then God stirred the hearts of the priests and Levites and the leaders of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin to go to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple of the Lord.
God moved the hearts of the leaders, family heads, priests, and Levites and gave them a great desire to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple. Major changes begin on the inside as God works on our attitudes, beliefs, and desires. These inner changes lead to faithful actions. After 48 Years of captivity, the arrogant Jewish nation had been humbled. When the people's attitudes and desires changed God ended their punishment and gave them another opportunity to go home and try again. In the New Testament, Paul reminds us that "For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him" (Philippians 2:13) . Doing God's will begins with your desires. Are you willing to be humble, to be open to His opportunities, and to move at His direction? Ask God to give you the desire to follow Him more closely.
Lord God, we want to follow You more closely.
We come before You with humble hearts and open arms.
Come and transform us, Lord God. Renew us.
May we set our hearts and eyes on Your will.
Reveal to us anything in our lives that need changing.
May we be open to Your opportunities! Open to Your direction!
In Jesus' Name, Amen..
Have a blessed weekend!
