God Has Message For You
While Jeremiah is preaching about
the judgment of God on Judah,
his contemporary Ezekiel is
in Babylon interpreting God’s
judgment to those Jews already
in captivity. Ezekiel’s preaching
also contains large doses of hope.
The 70 year exile will teach
God’s people “that I am the Lord”,
thus preparing them for restoration.
Lord, You Speak thru Your Word: The voice said to (Ezekiel): Eat what I am giving you – eat this scroll! Then go and give its message to the people… So I opened my mouth.. And when I ate it, it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth (Ezek 3:1-3) Then He added: Let all My words sink deep into your own heart first. Listen to them carefully for yourself. Then go to your people in exile and say to them: This is what the Sovereign LORD says (Ezek 3:10-11) When I give u a message, I’ll loosen your tongue and let you speak: Then you will say to them: This is what the Sovereign Lord says! (v27). Amen.
Lord, following Your voice is hard for Your Words are difficult to obey. Put Your truth in me, and let me consume Your message in my mouth so that it tasted like honey. Help me Lord embody Your voice and Your message in my being and in my life. And let me speak to others the words that comes straight from Your heart. Amen.
Lord, thank You for the invitation
to embody Your Word of truth.
For I want to understand You Lord,
Your thoughts and feelings as
well as Your work and Your ways.
I want to do it because I love You
and because I want to experience
the benefits of Your love for me.
And I want to become one with You,
in principle & in experience. Amen.
Lord, thank You for the life message
You’ve given & the target audience.
Sovereign Lord, I ask for Your will
to be indeed my passion and desire.
And that include whom You want me
to serve & what You want me to say.
May revelation of these specifics
make me more passionate about
Your assignment for me; and Lord
do make the pathway straight. Amen
