Ezekiel 21-22

What God said to me – When My judgment finally fell on Israel, one reason was because her priests profaned what was holy as much as the world did.  They did not teach the difference between what was clean and unclean so they were no different than anyone else and they lost their influence and witness.  My people are My priests in the world today.  Do you keep holy in the midst of the ungodliness around you?  Do you proclaim the difference between what’s clean and unclean even in the midst of a perverse society?  It’s not easy when all around you is ungodliness and corruption.    The world needs those who are willing to stand in the gap and pray and only those who walk in holiness with Me can do that.

Ezekiel 18-20

What God said to me – My people are My people now and forever. If you are truly My child there is nothing you can say or do to change that – I will never disinherit you. If you move away from Me in sin you may feel like “I AM” no longer with you or that I have abandoned you, but I have not. I may give you over to your sin for a time so you will experience the full depravity and horror that comes with it in order to bring you to a place where you turn back to Me, but I will never abandon you. But the truth is, the further you fall away from Me, the harder and longer the road is to come back. You may experience lifelong consequences from your disobedience – even shame that never quite leaves you, but you will be forgiven and our relationship restored. My desire for you though is to never experience these things so stay close to Me – then our relationship never has to be restored, but it will grow stronger and closer each day.

Ezekiel 16-17

What God said to me – ““I AM” the Lord.  I have spoken and I will perform it.”  That’s all you need to know.  No matter what you see happening in the world around you – remember this truth.  Cling to this truth.  It will alleviate your fear and give you faith and peace.  Whether you are experiencing turmoil in the world, or in your family, or in your job – whatever it is – you can know that I have a plan that is for your good and My glory and I will perform it.  You just keep walking with Me – clinging to Me – listening to Me – obeying My instructions and you will see Me work and know that “I AM” accomplishing My purposes.  My peace which passes all understanding will fill your heart and mind.
