VERSE:
"He answered me, "The sin of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great;
the land is full of bloodshed and the city is full of injustice.
They say, 'The LORD has forsaken the land;
the LORD does not see.'"
~Ezekiel 9:9~
THOUGHT:
In times of evil and adversity, God's people can lose sight of the Father's "great and precious promises."
God has faithfully kept these promises through the ages.
This past faithfulness is our reminder that we can trust his promise of the salvation we willfully
experience with him one day.
Even in our darkest night, God has not forsaken us.
He sees and knows what we do and how we feel.
Quite often, however, the LORD is watching to see how we will live in tough times.
He wants us to show that we will be faithful during these times.
He wants us to see that he can be trusted and that he still is at work in our world and in our lives.
So let's be faithful, trusting that the God who preserved Israel and brought through Israel the
promised Messiah will also preserve and bless us!
PRAYER:
In my times of darkest struggle or of loftiest joy, dear LORD,
please help me to be found faithful to you and to your will.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.
