What devotion
I don't know why God would choose to take away Ezekiel's wife, but I find Ezekiel's reaction incredible. To be able to keep his composure, no crying or weeping for the person he has loved (not saying…

N/A
God does not take pleasure in punishment. He is not a sadist. However, God does love justice and because of this, punishment is a necessity. Reminds me of when natural disasters hit. People want to blame…

Hope for a new generation
The sins of the father are not laid upon the son. Yes the son must choose to do right, but there is the power to break the generational curse. The son also need not feel guilty for the sins of the father.…

You Alone
God's wrath is not spared from you by anyone else. Here God is saying that even if these three great men of faith (Noah, Daniel, and Job) were in the same vicinity as you, they can only be responsible…

Hidden Idolatry
"These men have set up idols in their hearts..." The people of Israel made a few idols in their day from golden calves to well... others. However, this struck me more than those. To have an idol in your…

For Serious.
The last chapter was a bit of a wake-up call for me. I sometimes lose the severity of the gospel message. Here God is telling Ezekiel, if you don't share my message, it's on you. What am I doing to make…

Hidden

Obedience
This reminds me of a childhood song I used to sing. "Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe. Doing exactly what the Lord commands, and doing it happily. O-B-E-D-I-E-N-C-E... obedience…

God's thoughts?
When you think of thoughts, you generally think of the mind. This verse talks about God and the thoughts of His heart. To pursue God and heart is to know His thoughts... His thoughts toward us as his…

For Our Own Good
Sometimes God sends us away to some other place or land for our own good. We may not always understand it, but He does. God let Israel be taken captive so that He could bring them back, build them, and…

Jeremiah was fed up with trying to share the news God had given him. He was being mocked and people were waiting for him to stumble. But even through all that, Jeremiah could not stop the Word of the…

The verse talks about the vessel being marred in the hands of the potter, and then making it again into another vessel (as it seemed good for the potter to make). The potter, God, made us in His image…
