Ezra 7:10 For Ezra Had Prepared his Heart To Seek The Law Of The LORD, And To Do It, And To Teach In Israel Statutes And Judgments. Ezra 8: Then I Proclaimed A Fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves Before our God, To Seek Of Him A Right Way For us, and for our little ones, and for All our substance. 22 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: Because we Had Spoken unto the king, Saying, The Hand Of our God Is Upon All them For Good That Seek Him; But His Power and his wrath is against All them that forsake him. 23 So we fasted and Besought our God For This: And He Was Intreated of us…31 And The Hand Of our God Was Upon us, And HE Delivered us From the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way. Jesus Promised that He Would never leave you nor forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5 Read it) And He Said; That we May Boldly Say, The Lord Is my Helper, and i will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Verse 6 read It!) So let me ask you again, have you forsaken your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? Ezra was ashamed of what? And why? So much more i could say, but i think it is all here, but do you hear it? Lord forgive us for forsaking You! In Jesus Name Amen Pastor Mike
