Ezekiel 9-12
What God said to me – People live their lives believing that if all the judgment in My word is true that it’s way out in the future so they can live as they want and when the time is closer, they can “straighten” out their lives. Even My own people live like this. One problem with this thinking is that I carry out My plans in My time – not yours. You don’t know when judgment is about to fall and when it does, it’s too late for repentance. You must live your life every moment to please Me and walk in a manner worthy of your calling. The other issue with this false thinking is that people can’t “straighten” out their lives. I alone can save. I alone can change hearts. Even those who are Mine can’t change themselves. Your sanctification comes as My Spirit transforms you as you daily walk with me. It is only as you walk in this manner that you can live in such a way that you won’t be ashamed at My coming.
