DAY TWENTY-FIVE—“Remember therefore from where you have fallen.”

Inspiration—Confession with sacrifice                 Scripture Reading—Ezra 10:1-9

1. Describe Ezra’s confession.
2. What was the people’s confession to Ezra? (Vs 2)
3. What evidence reveals they didn’t give up? (Vs 2-3)
4. What were the two words of encouragement that Ezra gave them? (Vs 4)
5. How did the people respond? (Vs 9)
6. What were the two things that Ezra charged them to do? (Vs. 11)

Application—Repent

1. Have you ever fallen “prostrate” before God?
2. Have you ever been “unfaithful” to God?
3. Have you made your confession of all know sin?

Application—Return

1. Humble yourself before God this morning and stay there for a while. Pray until god breaks your heart of all known sin.
2. Be quick to confess those sins, as convicted.
3. Separate yourself from those sinful acts, and those who continue to practice them.
4. Pray, confess your guilt.
5. Make a sacrifice unto the Lord for your unfaithfulness—perhaps a day of prayer rather than a day of play—or just an hour of study instead of food—a new book about the character of God rather than a new outfit—maybe even a gift unto the Lord, over and above your tithe.

I invite you back tomorrow for DAY TWENTY-SIX of “REDISCOVERING YOUR FIRST LOVE!”
