Ezekiel 44-45, Isaiah 19, Hebrews 13
What God said to me – It’s hard to be on the outside looking in. It’s human nature to want to be accepted as part of the group – to be one of the “cool kids” and yet walking with Me and taking a stand for My word and holiness will usually alienate you from the rest of the crowd. My death by crucifixion was considered dishonorable so it was done outside the city. You shouldn’t be surprised that those who are Mine and publicly identify with Me are also put outside and bear My same reproach. Society justifies their sin by saying times have changed and there are new ways of thinking and doing that are no longer considered sinful in this modern enlightened age. Yet I say that “I AM” the same yesterday, today, and forever. Sin is still sin and no amount of “enlightenment” will change that. You will be rejected and reproached and vilified when you take a stand for Me and a godly lifestyle, but you will find a place of acceptance in that city that is to come. Encourage one another with this truth.
