Scripture:
Ezekiel 39: 28 "Then they will know that I am the LORD their God because I made them go into exile among the nations, and then gathered them again to their own land; and I will leave none of them there any longer." (NASB)
Observation:
God will not leave a single soul behind. To teach and to get their attention, God had exiled the Israelites, and kept them in captivity so that they will learn from their own actions. To teach and to recognize the holy and faithful way of life is, so that they will yearn for God and take actions to obey God. God himself had to do the matser mind plan of turning himself away from his people and watch his people be lost and live in hiding. Pretty much see the nation fall apart. God will revived the nation and bring the Israelite as one nation, so that everyone would recognize our God and make his name be heard out loud . Through his rebuilding God demonstrates his compassion, holiness and power to all his people.
Application:
Everyday is struggle and feeling of captivity, being imprisoned by my own choices and selfish desires. I can be free, I have the freedom given by God to be freed from the captivity. God had made me to be teachable and coachable. Learn to humble myself to God, and lean on to him. Repent sins and lean on to his teachings of grace and mercy. Speak to God and repent, for he will deliver me and release me from my captivity.
Prayer:
Father God, everyday I struggle with being captive in my own selfish world. Forgive me for putting my own agendas before you. Deliver me, Father help me to be teachable that I am be quick to know the selfish choices and lead me to recognize that I am falling into my own personal imprisonment. Help me be quick to recognize my foolishness and deliver me from my transgressions.
