verseoftheday

When I arrived back in Jerusalem, I learned about Eliashib's evil deed in providing Tobiah with a room in the courtyards of the Temple of God. I became very upset and threw all of Tobiah's belongings out of the room... Nehemiah 13:7-8 NLT Eli had given Toby a room & Nehe was not happy. In Ch2 & Ch6 Toby was the enemy... intimidating & threatening. And now he's operating at the very centre of the spiritual life of the city. No wonder Nehe was unhappy. But what do I let in to the centre of my life that really is the enemy. That needs turfing out just like Tobiah? Maybe it's what i listen to or read or watch, the social media, the gossip, where I let my mind go...that person who drags me down...the focus on outward appearance... What needs cutting off & kicking out? If Nehe had a good look at the spiritual centre of my life would he say: "that's got to go. Now." #whohaveirentedaroomto #nowisgood

Isaiah 53:5 NLT But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. Today is that in between day. Between Jesus death and his resurrection.  I don't know what he went through on my behalf,  but I am sure it was part of taking my sin and wrong on himself. So I could be healed. So I could be made whole. Most people who get this txt have acknowledged Jesus work on the cross for them and accepted the gift of life He offers. But if you haven't,  now is good. Maybe there is someone in your life you need to be brave and actively encourage to take that step of faith. Do it today. #forMarcus #nowisgood #easter #love #lovedtotheend
