YET A MERCIFUL GOD

Today’s Reading:

EZEKIEL 2:2-5

“For they are impudent children and stiff hearted. I do send thee unto them, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.” (Ezekiel 2:4)

The chosen people have gone wild away from the one who chose them for Himself, everyone going about their wicked and rebellious way without considering the will of God. In fact, God knows who they are. He called them rebels who made the children of promise and love. They have boarded the way of the transgression of their fathers (v.3). yet, the love of the Lord makes Him look upon them favourably, in His goodness, the merciful keeps His loving banner flying high over the stiff hearted, He calls them back to righteousness who are long gone in their rudeness, and says to the sinful, you are mine to cleanse saying, “if your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” (Isaiah:1:18).

It is not for who you are, if so, you’d be long dead and perishing. It is for who God is, the merciful who choose to love even the most horrible sinner. It is His will that all are saved, that includes you. He loves you regardless of your impudence.

How long more before you turn back to God who yet in His mercy calls you home in love? Thus saith the Lord “Ye have sold yourselves for nought, and ye shall be redeemed without money. (Isaiah 52:3). Even now is deliverance and salvation free for you if you come, you shall be comforted in Jesus. Amen.
