Today's Reading: Ezekiel 21

You’ve likely heard the saying, "The more things
change, the more they stay the same." In today’s verse, the Lord
challenges this idea. God through Ezekiel, predicts that the day is coming when
"things shall not remain as they are.”
Change is inevitable, but it's not always gradual.
God, through Ezekiel, promises that there will come a day when He will mess
with our existing norms. God’s disruption isn't arbitrary; it's an expression
of His sovereign will and His desire to shake up our mundane routines. Divine disruptions
can serve as a catalyst for deeper intimacy with God, as they force us to rely
on Him in new and challenging ways.
Trials and disruptions can also be used by God to
develop perseverance, humility, patience, and other vital qualities that
strengthen our faith. They can help Christ-followers see that God is ultimately
in control, even when life doesn't go according to plan. Disruptions are also a
necessary step in fulfilling the plans and purposes God has for us, as they
force us to reevaluate our current path and align ourselves with His will.
While disruption can be unsettling, it ultimately
points toward a divine order that transcends our finite perspectives. God's
disruptions are pathways to transformation, leading us from familiarity into
the extraordinary. In this way, His plans for our lives unfold in ways we could
never have imagined.
God's intervention and disruption of our lives is an
act of love that leads us to true purposeful existence, transforming us from
within and guiding us toward a richer, more fulfilling life than we could ever
achieve on our own.
