Today's Reading: Ezekiel 30
►Click here to view today's "Word from the Word"
In today’s passage God paints a vivid picture of the
day of judgment as a gloomy and ominous day for the nations. It's clear that He
wants us to understand just how serious and severe His judgment will be on
those who refuse to repent and turn to Him. This is a day that strikes fear in
our hearts, reminding us of the incredible power and authority of God over all
creation!
Some folks just don't believe in divine judgment at
all! They think natural disasters or societal troubles are just random events
or caused by human mistakes. Others have big dreams for humanity, imagining a
future where we use science, technology, and social progress to solve our
problems like poverty, illness, and environmental issues. These people don’t
see the coming day of judgment as something real – they're more focused on
temporary gains and earthly pursuits.
But when God describes this day of judgment, He’s
showing us how important it is to take moral and spiritual matters seriously.
Humans often brush these things aside in favor of immediate pleasures and
worldly achievements. However, throughout history, we’ve seen moments where the
evidence of divine intervention and judgment became undeniable. During these
times, people wake up to the fact that their choices have consequences and that
they're accountable for their actions.
This contrast between God's message and human
perception reminds us how easily we can get lost in our own selfish desires and
blind spots. We need to repent, humble ourselves, and open our hearts to the
truth of God’s love, justice, and mercy.
As believers, it's our job to bridge this gap by
sharing the good news of salvation and warning others about the day of judgment
that's coming. Let's show people the reality of God's love through our words
and actions – inviting them to turn from their sins and find refuge in Jesus
Christ before it’s too late!
May the Lord open your eyes to His truth and justice,
guiding you away from selfish desires and towards a heart of repentance. May
you be an instrument of peace and hope, bridging the gap between God's grace
and humanity's need.
