Foolish Prophets

Scripture Ezekiel 13:3 Thus says the Lord GOD: “Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!

Observation: All the cults were created by foolish prophets, destroying people’s lives. Whether Mormon, Jehovah Witness or Islam, prophets have proclaimed false doctrine and lead people away from the true God. I wonder how many people these false prophets have robbed of having eternal life with their Father?

Application: Obey my God and do whatever He commands of me. To proclaim the One and Only God and then be an example of light I’ve been called to be. I’m called to be an example of love and with the Lord’s help I can succeed.

Prayer Dear Lord give me strength, wisdom and courage to fulfill my purpose You have given me. Direct my path today that I may be the light You call me to be.

Do as the Lord Commands

Scripture Ezekiel 12:77 So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my belongings by day, as though going into captivity, and at evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought them out at twilight, and I bore them on my shoulder in their sight.

Observation: I feel God has called me to do things that I didn’t understand or make sense to me. I tried to reason if they were from God or just nonsense from me. God calls us to do things that may not make sense to us to see if we trust and love Him. He has made it clear to me that it was His direction, but I would doubt the things that I didn’t want to do. God deserves or obedience and love no matter what.

Application: I need to continue to seek God in all of my situations and pray for His direction. I’m here to obey His commands and do what He desires me to do and not what I want. This time that I spend on this earth and for all eternity should be devoted to my Lord and I need to obey with gladness that He has chosen me to do His will.

Prayer My Lord I humbly come before you and give you this life as a living sacrifice, may it be holy and pleasing to You. Command me today that I may know and do Your will.

A Heart of Flesh

Scripture Ezekiel 11:19 Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh,

Observation: That is what God did for me, He took my stony hard heart and turned it into a heart of flesh. Before Jesus came into my life, I didn’t care about anyone, but myself and everything I did was for me. He changed my heart and gave me a new spirit and purpose. My heart stills hardens from time to time, but God continues to soften it and helps me to see others through His eyes.

Application: I need to continue to go to my Father and humble myself before Him. If I have any wicked ways within me, I need to ask forgiveness and to soften my heart. God is the potter and I am the clay. I need to remain pliable so that He can form me into the vessel He desires.

Prayer My Lord please take this anger and wrath from me. Soften my heart always so that I may be the child You desire. I love you Dad help me succeed in Your name.
