Devotional: Insight: The Ephraim Gate
Source: Operator-authored devotional (2 Chronicles 25:7–9 NKJV) · matt
Be careful which gates you open. God may be warning you to close off partnerships, habits, or voices that look like allies but are walking in rebellion. If you don't close the gate when He says to — it may be the exact place your wall breaks.
Amaziah ignored God’s warning about the Ephraimites. Later, Jerusalem’s wall was broken down at the Ephraim Gate. Disobedience left the gate unguarded.
