Ezekiel 47-Part 2

LET IT GLOW

Where do we get our hope today? From what source is our strength to carry on another day?

Asaph, who was the leader in singing in the Temple, wrote the Psalm 73-83. Here are a few verses which I had already highlighted from our study in this book:

Thou art the God that doest wonders: Thou hast declared Thy strength among the people. (Ps.77:14)

We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and His strength, and His wonderful works that He hath done. (Ps. 78:4) (Speaking of God's Words)

That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments. (verse 7)

Are we sharing the great wonders and works that God has done in our life throughout the years with our family? Do we share His strength and hope that is our God? Are we keeping His commands? Are we sharing how He has blessed our faithfulness? Folks, I am guilty. I have a tendency to write about those things and not tell my grandchildren about them. It is time to start telling.

LET IT GROW

 This book has been about the decline of a nation, not just a religious decline, but also in governmental and family decline. It happened due to them not following God's statutes and commands. They turned away to worship idols. Notice that God started with judgment at His house, not at the courthouse or the White House. Until we as God's people get our kingdom agenda priorities in order, He will not skip our failings to fix what's wrong with our culture either. The time has come for judgment to begin with God's household, and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God? (1Peter 4:17)

The reason our culture is drying up is because there's no spiritual water flowing out of the sanctuary into the world. It must flow down the aisles of our churches. If God's presence doesn't show up among His people, how will it show up in our neighborhoods, in the nation, and in the world?             [Resource: The Tony Evans Bible Commentary] 

So, are we excusing sins of others and our self?   We read what happened to Judah and Jerusalem when they turned from God.  What awaits America? Are people calling good evil and evil good?                      

 

LET IT GO

You are a promise keeper, Your Word will never fail. I see Your goodness, right here, right now.

Holy Spirit, convict us of our sins. Turn us back to You in repentance.

We have become self-sufficient, sensual, and materialistic.

Send a Great Awakening to America!

Have mercy on us, Almighty God.
