"Now while Ezra was praying, and while he was confessing, weeping and bowing before the house of God, a very large assembly of men, women, and children gathered to him from Israel; for the people wept very bitterly. And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, spoke up and said to Ezra, 'We have trespassed against our God, and have taken pagan wives from the people of the land; yet now there is hope in Israel in spite of this.' "
Ezra 10:1-2
There is hope for revival among God's people in spite of how far we have drifted from God standard of holiness. There are people – men, women, and children – who want to see the Church return to righteousness. It began with the earnest prayers, confession, and weeping of one man that moved a nation to repentance. O God, send a spirit of weeping and repentance to Your Church.
Today's Thought: There is hope for revival among God's people, but it begins with individuals.
Have a hopeful day. Love you.
