Ezekiel 7:1-9:11; Hebrews 5:1-14; Psalm 105:1-15; Proverbs 26:28

God is so passionately in love with His people that He is jealous! We have to be careful about this word because we think when we hear it that it means what we see on reality TV shows. God desires to be our Heavenly Father and that we would seek no other gods but Him.

He is passionately protective of your relationship with Him. He will do anything to protect that relationship. When the Bible speaks of God’s jealousy, it is not speaking about the petty games that humans play. It speaks about a God who goes all out for His children and when His children ignore Him and go looking for other gods, then it breaks His heart.

God, however, never abandons us! He continues to pursue us, even when we are running away from Him. He will not give up on us, even when we give up on Him. When we put God at the back of the line, He just waits there patiently for His turn.

This is the true meaning of God’s jealousy! He is zealous for us and that is why God sent His one and only son, Jesus, to die for us!

Ezekiel 3:16-6:14; Hebrews 4:1-16; Psalm 104:24-35; Proverbs 26:27

God loves us enough that He never leaves us without a warning when we are going astray. He sends people into our lives to speak forth His Word to give us a chance to repent.

God told Ezekiel that his role was to be a Watchman for Israel. He was to stay connected to God and warn Israel when God spoke. This was a serious role because if Ezekiel didn’t tell Israel and they continued, then their death would be his responsibility.

In a like manner, God wants to help us so we don’t ruin our future. If we ignore God’s warning, then all the consequences fall upon us. If we heed the warning, then we will be rescued from the perils that lie ahead. Have enough respect for God and His Word that when you hear His voice warning you, that you listen. Make whatever corrections God says and your future will be bright.

Ezekiel 1:1-3:15; Hebrews 3:1-19; Psalm 104:1-23; Proverbs 26:24-26

Is there a place where you get away to hear from God? Ezekiel was by a river in Babylon when he received a powerful vision. God wants us to encounter Him supernaturally so that we can have an unshakeable confidence in Him.

When God connects with us it is to give us His Word. God had a Word for Israel but He could not get a Word to Israel until God got His Word into Ezekiel. God will never call us to speak for Him until we allow Him to speak to us!

Is your heart open for God to speak to you? Are you ready to have a bedrock conviction about His Word and purposes for your life? If so, then you are ready for God to speak through you to others. Ezekiel had to “eat” what God was serving him and once he had ingested it, then he would be ready to speak what God told him to others. God always wants to work in us before He works through us!
