My Bible Journey October 5, 2007
Finished Jeremiah…here are a few thoughts from Lamentations and Ezekiel…
- Lamentations 2:17 – Sometimes I forget just how IN CONTROL God is!!!
- Lamentations 3:21-27 – When the wheels seem to be coming off…these verses are good to have nearby.
- Lamentations 3:40 – I need to do this often!
- Ezekiel 2:1-2 – I now read this on Sundays before I speak!
- Ezekiel 2:5-7 – God was/is pretty serious about not being afraid to speak His truth!
- Ezekiel 3:16-21 – These verses caused me to stop dead in my tracks…wow…once again it is evident that God is SERIOUS when He tells someone to speak His truth.
- Ezekiel 18:4 – No explanation needed!
- Ezekiel 18:32 – God wants us to live & not die as a result of our foolish and immoral choices.
- Ezekiel 20:19-20 – I cannot go wrong by doing this!
- Ezekiel 20:49 – Looks like there were bloggers who hated Ezekiel because they felt like he just wasn’t “deep” because of all his storytelling!
- Ezekiel 22:30 – This verse has always moved me…I think God is still looking for men who will stand up and be men!!!
- Ezekiel 24:15-18 – When I read this I thought about how much I love Lucretia and how hard this had to have been for Ezekiel…no one ever said that obedience is an easy thing.
- Ezekiel 30:24-25 – How in the world can God’s Sovereignty ever been in question? Holy cow–He used a pagan king to accomplish HIS purpose!!! BUT…I say this and usually turn around and freak out when something “uncontrollable” happens…thus doubting God’s Sovereignty!
- Ezekiel 33:30-33 – This isn’t a pastor in the world that hasn’t felt like this at one time or another!!! DANG!
The three others things I have seen consistently in this book is…
- God hates pride!
- Ezekiel always knew what to say because God spoke to him. (Go through and notice the times he says, “The word of the Lord came to me…”
- Eventually the entire world will know that the Lord is God–I am glad I get to participate in spreading that message!
