SOAP: Shamed into stronger faith?

My SOAP entry isn’t as SOAP-y as usual.

Today I’m still pondering. So I thought I’d just present the passage that spoke out to me and leave it at that.

Feel free to share your own observations, applications or prayers…

I think there is a lot here.

Scripture: Ezra 8:22-23

22I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road, because we had told the king, “The gracious hand of our God is on everyone who looks to him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him” 23So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer.
