Not Without You Quotes

“53 Separation for a better you Then the rest of the people-the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, Temple servants, and all who had separated themselves from the pagan people of the land in order to obey the Law of God, together with their wives, sons, daughters, and all who were old enough to understand joined their leaders and bound themselves with an oath. (Nehemiah 10:28-29a NLT)   Take a moment and think about the people in your life and the activities that you’re involved in.  Do these people and activities pull you closer to God or push you further away? Sometimes you have to separate yourself from people and situations in order to fully obey God.  There is nothing wrong with that.  You must get to a place in your life where your relationship with God is more important than the opinions of others. You must also recognize that no one is exempt from being led away from God and into sin.  Your title and status do not matter. Take King Solomon for example; even he was led into sin by his foreign wives. (see Nehemiah 13:26)  This is proof that the people in your life can cause you to sin. You must be careful about whom you allow into your life because they influence your behavior. Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your mercy and grace. Give me wisdom to discern the character of those who are in my life. Let me not be influenced by those who do not find joy in Your presence. Show me activities and people in my life that I need to separate from in order that I may fully obey You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Additional Scripture reading: Nehemiah 10 and Nehemiah 13”
