Today's Scripture *April 6, 2010*
Ezekiel 12: 21-28
Again a message came to me from the Lord: “Son of man, you've heard that proverb they quote in Israel: ‘Time passes, and prophecies come to nothing.’ Tell the people, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will put an end to this proverb, and you will soon stop quoting it.’ Now give them this new proverb to replace the old one: ‘The time has come for every prophecy to be fulfilled!’
“There will be no more false visions and flattering predictions in Israel. For I am the Lord! If I say it, it will happen. There will be no more delays, you rebels of Israel. I will fulfill my threat of destruction in your own lifetime. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!” .
Then this message came to me from the Lord: “Son of man, the people of Israel are saying, ‘He’s talking about the distant future. His visions won't come true for a long, long time.’ Therefore, tell them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: No more delay! I will now do everything I have threatened. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!’”
These two short messages were warnings that God's Word's would come true--soon!! Less than six years later, Jerusalem would be destroyed. Yet the people were skeptical. Unbelief and false security led them to believe it would never happen. The apostle Peter dealt with this problem in the church.
2 Peter 3: 9 The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.
It is dangerous to say Christ will never return or to regard His coming as so far in the future as to be irrelevant today. All that God says is sure to happen. Don't dare assume that you have plenty of tie to get right with God.
God, we praise You and give You thanks for Your Word to us.
May we look forward with anticipation to Your Coming Return!
May we be ready! Living lives that are pleasing in Your sight.
Help us to waste no time on the idle things of this world, but to work to further Your Coming Kingdom now on earth.
In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless!
April
