God Never Leaves You

Psalm 94:14 

The Lord won’t leave His people. He will not give up His children.

Ezra was grieved and he wept because of the sins that the Israelites committed. Ezra was someone with power and authority among his nation. He actually had the authority to punish, judge or rebuke those who committed sins. 

However, he prayed and confessed for all the wrongdoings of the Israelites even though he was not the one who committed the sins. He was grieved that the Israelites had sinned against God. 

Ezra remembered that during their exile, God had been gracious and had provided them a place. Even though they were under the power of the Persians, God had not forsaken them. And in His time, God gave them freedom. God gave them a second chance and protected them. 

Ezra knew that God would discipline His children, but God would NEVER abandon nor leave His children. Ezra’s God is your God too! How blessed we are to have a God who is quick to forgive our sins as long as we confess and ask for His forgiveness. No matter what you think or how you feel, God will never leave us. 

Prayer

Dear God, thank You for always loving me and forgiving me. Thank You for never leaving me alone. Amen.
