Repentance & Confession

Israel was engaged in a rebuilding campaign and they started to renew the feasts that they were commanded to celebrate. As Ezra read and taught the word of God, they realized that they had been living in disobedience to the Lord. The leaders and the people responded with a prayer of repentance and confession as the Spirit convicted them of their sin, disobedience, and rebellion. As they had seen in the past, the Lord was gracious, merciful, and full of compassion towards his people. As we seek to rebuild our lives, families, and church, the Lord is calling us to repentance and confession which brings about renewal and revival. Let’s take time to examine our lives, pause to reflect, study God’s word, and review if we are living in alignment to his kingdom principles. As we do, we will see the gracious hand of God upon our lives that brings restoration, redemption, and rejuvenation.
