‘Humility In Front Of God.’
Ezra 8:21-23.
a) Ezra 8:21. It was the time for an important journey in the Will of God, an act of Faith and Obedience.
b) Ezra 8:21. The journey did not only involve Ezra but many people.
c) Ezra 8:21. Ezra proclaimed a fast that the people might humble themselves in unity before God.
d) Ezra 8:21. Ezra asked God for a safe journey for:-
1- The people.
2- Their children.
3- Their possessions.
e) Ezra 8:22. Ezra led the people this way because he was ashamed to ask the king for protection. Ezra had already proclaimed that the hand of our God is gracious to all who seek Him, but His great anger is against all who abandon Him.
f) Ezra 8:23. Ezra and the people fasted and pleaded with God about this matter and God granted their request.
(This QT reminds me to have Humility In Front Of God)

Chris.
Humility in front of God is a very real necessity for every True Believer. This should be at all times but especially so at the times of making big decisions and carrying them out. God is surely a Living God whose ears are not deaf to the prayers of His People.
