Do you know what I learned this morning?…
I’ve learned we can’t leave room for even the smallest infidelity. That to resist accountability in one department means failure to thrive in all others. That the slightest neglect to commit leaves a hole that apostasy will be only too glad to fill.
We can afford no such luxury. (No such villainy.)
Here’s what I learned…
The supremacy of God is manifested to the world by the fidelity of His friends.*
So it was when it appeared God Himself had been made a servant to Babylon. For wasn’t almost every holy thing from His house now beautifying a pagan temple?
No, actually not. Because the most beautiful things from God’s house were the hearts that served Him there.
And some of those hearts stayed true. Even in Babylon.
My God, show Thyself strong in a pagan land, before a pagan people, through the faithfulness of Thy friends…

Oh Sean! "My God, show Thyself strong in a pagan land, before a pagan people, through the faithfulness of Thy friends…" Amen!

This hurts somehow. _The supremacy of God is manifested to the world by the fidelity of His friends_

Ouch. That 3rd sentence… This whole post cries for deeper. 'Twas needed. Thanks.

This hits very close to home… Something God has been teaching me lately. Thanks for sharing.
