Grace for your spirit August 27, 2014

Grace for your spirit
For I was ashamed to request from the king troops and horsemen to protect us from the enemy on the way, because we had said to the king, "The hand of our God is favorably disposed to all those who seek Him, but His power and His anger are against all those who forsake Him."  Ezra 8:22

Ezra faced a thousand mile journey leading the people back to Israel. Many obstacles would be faced on the trip.  He had a king who was ready willing and able to help them, but first He would ask God to keep His promises.  He went to God first.  God opened the doors and paved the way, and got the glory.  When we walk in the will of God, He promises to open the doors and pave the way for us too.  We should be ashamed to ask the world and the government to bail us out before the have asked God.  Can we trust in Him or will we be ashamed? Let's give Him the glory.
