251 - "Keep Your Lamps Burning" Ezekiel 25-28

        

Oh Ezekiel, Son of man,
set your face and prophesy.
Ezekiel 25:1

Tell them:
Hear the word of the Sovereign Lord.
The people have desecrated the things of God.
They have clapped their hands/ stomped their feet
with malice in their hearts. But they will receive from God
what is due. 
May we be found faithful right where we type our stories.

In this celebrity society of ours.

We hallow looks and lavish lifestyles.

It's the very thing that can turn us away.

How arrogant to think we want success stories.

If we could just do it over again.

But our hearts are proud.

And we'd become proud again.

May we walk humbly this day before our God. the lamps burning for the Lord.
God led them there by Light.
God is there.
He is alive.
The Temple recognizes the God who is there.
We are The Temple today.
What God said is still alive.
And I am still here.
Eternal flames burn bright to say
Our God is Alive in me.
And He leads me out every single day.
Keep your lamps burning bright.

Exodus 27:21 -  From evening to morning, it's a lasting ordinance for the generations to come---keep the lamps burning before the Lord.  What does that mean for this one-year-old Ezekiel in this photo?\

on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor." Ezek 28:17
