FRESH WATER!

Ezekiel 47:9 – Devotional

Ezekiel 47:9

“And it shall come to pass, that everything shall live.”

The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth. Fed by the Jordan River and other streams, the Dead Sea has no outlet but evaporates rapidly in the desert heat, leaving heavy, caustic, mineral-laden water behind. Fish that flow in with the fresh water, instantly perish. People enjoy floating effortlessly on the surface, but must immediately and thoroughly rinse away the corrosives. Mounds of salt line the shores of the Dead Sea, and a nearby pillar is named for Lot’s wife.

The principles of Ezekiel 47, we now receive by faith later we will witness by sight when Jesus returns. He promised springs of living water to the woman at the well, and to the celebrants in the temple, and “By this He meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive.” (John 7:39a)

Each of us is surrounded by Dead Sea people, and—if we are honest—we recognize that we ourselves are much more briny than the fresh water that gives life. Yet we have a better hope that comes by faith. The Lord on His throne is ready to answer even one person’s humble, earnest, faith-filled prayer for revival. “Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail.” (Ezekiel 47:12)

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

REPENT AND LIVE!

Ezekiel 18:32 – Devotional

Ezekiel 18:32

“For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!”

Most of us have loved ones who have rejected the Word of God and choose to walk in rebellion to the God’s offer of eternal life. What should our reaction be and how should we respond to these individuals?

I think the best example we have on the situation is the family of Jesus. If ever there were siblings that should have eagerly followed the faith of their parents and older brother, it should have been Jesus’ own family. The truth of the matter was that they did not come to faith until after His death and resurrection.

Jesus’ own siblings rejected Him as their personal Savior until after His resurrection. As the Son of God and Savior of the world Jesus saw this, but from the human perspective Jesus had to deal with unbelieving family members.

The answer is that Jesus lived His faith all the way to the cross and beyond. It is far too easy for us to drive our loved ones away from us by a continual barrage of sermonizing. We should rather love them into the Kingdom of God by our faithful walk with the Lord. Watch for opportunities to lead others to the Lord. You may be the answer to another’s prayer.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
