Ezekiel 20 - Day 807 (link to reading)
Scripture: Ezekiel 20:39 Commentary (thewarehouse.blog): For a good part of my adult life, I chased after the hopes and dreams of man. I had my eyes set on the material pleasures and the finite comforts of this world. God’s plan was an afterthought. Although I believed, I wasn’t proactive in my cooperation alongside Christ. I walked away from Him and He let me. Many times in Scripture we read about God stepping back and letting the natural consequences of life cave in on His people. This is one of those times. Go and serve your idols. It’s such a black and white statement. Why does God allow it? Why doesn’t He just stop it with His sovereign hand? The real question is, what kind of love is demanding, controlling, and manipulative? Application: In God's love for His children, He gives us the freedom to make our own decisions. Sometimes, I wish that He wouldn't give me so much freedom but understand that if I'm obligated to do something, then it's really not my choice. Prayer: Lord, renew my heart for You...
