July 29, 2024 - Ezekiel 17-21

Over and over again, through these chapters, the Lord announces his discipline against his people, but it is always gracious discipline.  The goal?  “Then you will know that I am the Lord” (17:21; Also, 20:38,42,44; 21:5).

 

“I will purge out the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against me. I will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord” (20:38).

 

“And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I bring you into the land of Israel, the country that I swore to give to your fathers” (20:42).

 

“And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I deal with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt deeds, O house of Israel, declares the Lord God” (20:44).

 

“And all flesh shall know that I am the Lord” (21:5).

 

Saviour, who this day didst break

the dark prison of the tomb,

Bid my slumbering soul awake:

Shine through all its sin and gloom:

Let me, from my bonds set free,

Rise from sin, and live to Thee.

 

Blessèd Spirit, Comforter,

Sent this day from Christ on high;

Lord, on me Thy gifts confer,

Cleanse, illumine, sanctify:

All Thine influence shed abroad;

Lead me to the truth of God.   -- Julia Anne Elliott (1833)
