Ezekiel 29 & 30
Inspired thots
The Lord judges Egypt for her pride in being self sufficient. Another reminder that the whole earth belongs to the Lord and no one can take that glory away from Him. He will punish those who thinks they are gods or in control of their lives or destiny. Only God is in control of destinies.
Lets keep a humble heart towards our Maker and enjoy the life He has blessed us with according to His ways. Why rebel? Why seek self glory?
Our time on earth is limited. But eternity... is eternity....
Think about the means to THE END....
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)

Pride before Fall
Ezekiel 27 & 28
Inspired thots
Tyre and Sidon gloated over the chastisement of Israel by God which was to refine them and bring them back to His presence. Hence, God punished them for belittling Israel despite their wisdom and wealth. Tyre grew proud from its vast riches and acted like a god. It forgot its humble beginnings. It was blameless until it fell subtly into sin.
One must be very careful in life to walk righteously before God for there are subtle temptations and distractions which can cause our downfall through sin like pride and self righteousness as well as an over dependence on the things of this world instead of God.

Do Not Scheme Against Others
Ezekiel 26
Inspired thots
Tyre was gloating over the downfall of Jerusalem which was punished by God for disobedience. Tyre was scheming to take advantage of Jerusalem's weak condition in that dire hour. But God will not allow it to be so; the Lord God watches over His own.
He may chastise His stubborn people but He will protect them like a loving Father. We are always safe in God's hands regardless the circumstances.

Do Not Gloat Over Others' Chastisement
Ezekiel 25
Inspired thots
God may chastise His people out of love like a father disciplines his children; others should not gloat or glee over the misfortunes befallen on another party. God will bring on due vengeance as EVERYONE would have sinned against Him in some form or way.
Let us be humble and plead for His mercy to turn away His wrath. God is Good; He sets us on His right path to enjoy His blessings!

Signs that are Testimonies
Ezekiel 23 & 24
Inspired thots
God will work in His people's lives with signs of judgment that would be testimonial of His greatness. God chastises His people to have them return to Him; and in turn, they would be testimonies of His greatness to others.
God's purpose is wonderful; beyond comprehension. It is better to remain in God's covering than to come under His judgment. When God performs signs, we'd better listen and understand His message for our own good.

God is Looking
Ezekiel 22
Inspired thots
God is looking for those among the rebellious to BUILD UP the wall and STAND in the GAP for the land so that He would not have to destroy it for the sins of the people. He is better than Abraham who negotiated up to 10 righteous men to save Sodom and Gomorrah. God only needed ONE RIGHTEOUS man who is for Him; with a heart for God and willing to be compassionate for the sinful land.
Sadly, there was none in Israel as in Sodom and Gomorrah. Is there such a lack of righteous men to appease God?

Sword of Judgment
Ezekiel 21
Inspired thots
It is God's sword of judgment that will come against those who are stubborn to obey Him. God's sword would be unsheathed, sharpened and wielded; used by the enemy upon God's people who do not repent and return to God.
How long would God's people remain stubborn to their own wicked sinful ways to fall into judgment? How long would they be blinded with their own foolish wisdom that they do not see the impending destruction to themselves?
Praise God for His word to teach and instruct lest we fall like them.
