Ezra 9:8 But now for a brief moment grace has been shown from the Lord our God, to leave us an escaped
remnant and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our
bondage.
I love this verse – I don’t ever remember reading it before!
“a peg in his holy place” – a great title for a book don’t
you think???
Remember those little wooden games on the tables at Cracker
Barrel – where you jump pegs and see if you can remove all of them from the
board? It’s hard! And then if you leave
3, 4, 5 or more – there are comments on the game telling you you’re awesome,
not so great, or downright a failure!
There’s none of that with God.
We are a peg in his holy place – we have a spot – we cannot
be jumped and removed – we are never alone - he is always with us!
That’s enough to end the game with a “Well done!” isn’t it?
Need a little reviving?
Just smile at the thought of yourself as a peg in his presence.
