“And these were the ones who came up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addon and Immer, but they could not identify their father’s house nor their lineage, whether they were of Israel . . .” Nehemiah 7:61
“These sought their listing among those who were registered by genealogy, but it was not found; therefore they were excluded from the priesthood as defiled.” Nehemiah 7:64
When we take a drink of water, we don’t want to find anything else floating around in it.
Oh Lord, we desire to be pure in thought, word and deed for You. And here’s a simple poem . . .
Pure
There is much to read
to listen to, to watch
that is good
and true
but not all of it’s pure
and of the Spirit
and able to work
in us for You.
