God's Honor

Ezekiel 20

Inspired thots

God has to defend His own honor against those who perform abominable things as His people. He has to maintain His righteousness and dignity on a wider circle as others are watching and judging. He has to maintain His character as a consistent God who is right and true.

But how sorrowful God must be to act against His sinful people; yet a choice is to be made ~ His honor or His people. It is a most difficult choice. Would that sorrow bring on regret? Would God regret choosing His people? 

Yet, He does not forsake them forever; He is compassionate to turn away His wrath from them after a time. How great is our God of mercy!
