Scripture:
Ezekiel 33:27 "Thus you shall say to them, Thus say the Lord GOD, As I live, surely those who are in the waste place will fall by the sword, and whoever is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the stronghold and in the caves will die of pestilence." (NASB)
Observation:
Lord is using Ezekiel as a prophet to tell the exilees to take action against word of God versus giving a lip services. Regardless of the abundance God has provided, it was never enough and was taken for granted and their actions of unrighteous behaviors brought much frustration to God. God clearly uses so many different ways to tell us that God will bless with abundance to those who obey but will be forgotten of those who cannot admit and be lead by God. God uses prophet Ezekiel to let him preach to be faithful and take action lead by faith rather then filling their mouth of useless words to be called faith in their view. God wants us to act faithfully rather than preaching it. We sin as we verbally speak and praise God at the same time. Yet God wants us to recap ourselves and take action and sin little and reserve our words as they can be greater sins.
Application:
We should be coachable, God made us to be coachable. Let us learn from God and be dependent on his lesson. Use blessing and moments of threats and emptiness to be lead by God's way and be coachable. Be flexible to adjust my actions and to let God's coaching to resonate. Regardless how much we praise our love for God, our action say otherwise. We show our love for God by not lip service but truly listening and taking actions to his commands.
Prayer:
Faithful Father God, give me the genuine heart to be coached and lead by you, that I may resonate your love and faith through my actions by obeying your commands one at a time.
