Make Good Your Word!

 

Today's verse is Nehemiah 10:29

They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God’s law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes; 

    Last week, as we read the writings of John, we saw that the commandment of God was not grievous. And here we see that those that had returned to the land saw fit to bind themselves to the law of God again, to do that which God says is right and to do his statutes. Yet, after Nehemiah left Jerusalem for a time, when he came back, many had departed from this oath they had made, and did all the things they vowed that they would not do, and did not do that which they had promised to do. Such is our nature, and such we must guard against. So, Today, Repent, and examine yourself, have you truly been made a Son of God, through Jesus Christ, and if Jesus died for you, who should you live for? So, are you living for Jesus Christ, or as these Jews that had made their oath stumbled, doing the easy thing, allowing the things of this world blind their eyes, and forgot the God that loves them? So, “Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.” Do you want the riches your God has for you, or the vain empty things the World has to offer? Selah [Choose Wisely.] Amen.

To God be the Glory
