The Desires of Our Eyes

Scripture Ezekiel 24:16 “Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, nor shall your tears run down.

Observation: We continue to desire the things of this world instead of seeking God. All that we see and have on this earth will be taken away, but if we seek God and His purpose for our lives, we will build up treasures in heaven that we’ll have forever. With everything that is happening now people are losing what they worked for and are falling into depression instead of asking God for direction.

Application: Currently I don’t have a job and my last unemployment check is coming. I’m worried about losing some of the things that I’ve accumulated here on this earth and the luxuries that I have instead of focusing on what God wants me to do. I need to be responsible for taking care of my wife, but the Lord’s calling is the most important thing in my life.

Prayer My Lord you have always taken care of your servant. Use this time you have blessed me with to do your will and desire. I’m here only until you call me home, may this time glorify you.
