Human
sin and divine judgment, described in such detail in these chapters of
Ezekiel - this is the backcloth against which we are called to go on
with the Lord: “If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have
received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but
only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will
consume the enemies of God” (Hebrews 10:26-27).
In the face of our sin and God’s judgment, “our eyes look to the Lord
our God, till He shows us His mercy.” We pray, “Have mercy on us, O
Lord, have mercy on us” (Psalm 123:3).
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word… will not return to Me empty, but will… achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
