Ezekiel 1, Song of Solomon 1, Matthew 23: 13-39
What God said to me – Be careful when you say “I would never” because the odds are that you someday will. The scribes and Pharisees in their self-righteousness, looking back at their ancestors who persecuted and killed My prophets said, “if we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.” Yet they were the ones who crucified My Son and scourged and persecuted My disciples from city to city. There is a reason I said that pride goes before the fall. Don’t set yourself up for failure or attack by the enemy by saying “I would never.” Remember anyone can fail or fall so learn to walk humbly with Me each day, depending on and obeying My Spirit. When you do this as your lifestyle, seeking Me each day – each moment – the odds of succumbing to temptation go down exponentially so don’t neglect this time.
