PRAYING FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS, CHURCH & NATION:
Be discerning of, give witness to, God‘s discipline in your life (Ezk 12:14-16). #HearingGod’sVoice #God’sDiscipline #WitnessToTheTruth #LessonsInAdversity
MORNING WATCH NOTES:
The words spoken here by the prophet may be seen in the light of words spoken in 5:1,2. To what end does this scattering of God‘s people point?
“Experience will teach [God’s people] what otherwise they would never have learned, ‘that I am the Lord’ (v15). What men fail to appreciate in prosperity, they will occasionally learn through adversity. God will allow a few of [those scattered – a remnant] to survive so they can testify to God‘s truth (v16). Then, confessing their sins among the nations, God will be seen as holy and powerful, not helpless to save.“ *
Lord, may this old sentry be discerning of, give witness to, your discipline in my life circumstances.
