You will know that I am the Lord!
How many times did God make that statement?
God is always seeking, always beckoning, always calling.
And how long do we go without acknowledging this day that He is Lord!
God speaks to Ezekiel, once again. Prophesy!
And how many times has God initiated a Word with Ezekiel?
I wonder if Ezekiel ever wavered, ever wondered? He is just like us. Always returning.
And God says to Ezekiel.
Ask this of Pharaoh:
"Who are you like in your greatness?" Ezekiel 31:2
What a telling question.
There is One Who asks the questions we must answer.
It is He. The Lord.
Be prepared to answer the good questions, the right ones.
To Whom else shall we go? John 6:66
Would others say we remind them of Jesus? Or are we so full of our own selves and our own plans that we cannot see out. Fill us with Yourself. Draw us in. Draw us up. I Peter 4:1-2 says to "think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way." I lost a $600 opportunity 11/12/23 at 8am because I did not speak up fast enough. I have been beating myself up---why? I wanted to have it my way and walk off with the $600. God is weaning me.
