In the book of Ezekiel, God’s initiative and control is expressed more clearly and pervasively. It is a book that sounds and echoes God’s sovereignty. The allegory in chapter 16 of an unfaithful Jerusalem describes the history of this people and their continual rejection of God. We see God’s forgiveness and rescue of a people who were not content with their love relationship with the Lord.
Our Lord’s righteous judgment and faithfulness in this portion of scripture speaks to us in these days we live. A true warning for us to see and then ask, “I’m I so easily persuaded to reject God’s commandments?”
Discontent can be the doorway that will lead us on a pathway of temptation against God’s great plan. When we are discontent, we might tend to go places we shouldn’t go or make alliances we shouldn’t be making. Several weeks ago Pastor Rick encouraged us to guard our hearts and to protect our ‘Heart of Worship.’ Prioritize going to church and staying connected with others. Let us commit to having our lives to be a reflection of His good work by serving in ministry and giving to others. Let us hold on to our covenant with the Lord and remember His faithfulness.
“Nevertheless I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.” Ezekiel 16:60
Be Blessed He is Our Covenant Keeper!
