September 9 "Listening to Smooth Things" Ezekiel 31-33

"Their mouths speak of love, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain." Ezek 33:30.
Men care more about the temporary than the eternal when they overlook settling their sins with God.

One commentary talked about how they set watchmen to guard their houses but not their hearts.  When their happiness or misery is at stake, Matthew Henry says:  "they are offended if ministers obey God and give faithful warnings; they would rather perish listening to smooth things."

"Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice 
and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice."
Ezekiel 33:30-33

DEAR GOD, PLEASE CHANGE ME IN ONE OF MY 10,000 MOMENTS where I confess to listening to smooth things that gloss over my pain and hurt.  Expose my unjust gain.  Wake me up where I do not practice what I sing.
