Ezekiel 34-36
What God said to me – When you disobey Me and walk after the way of the world, you profane My name among the nations. They judge Me by you and are turned away from Me because of you. This is why it is so important that you walk with Me consistently. When My people join in the ungodliness of the world, they lose their influence. Reputation matters. When the people of the world experience difficulty and trials, they have no place to turn if you are just like them. I know its difficult not to fit in and be accepted but those very differences in you are how I can reach them. Stand strong in your faith so I can use you to accomplish My purposes and reach as many as possible before the end.
