Today’s Scripture: Ezekiel 16:13 NLT Tyndale: And you were made beautiful with gold and silver. Your clothes were made of fine linen and were beautifully embroidered. You ate the finest foods-fine flour, honey, and olive oil-and became more beautiful than ever.
Ezekiel was given visions to give Israel pictures of what they had become. Simple truths that helped them relate and hit hard. Many sting and describe our hearts today. As we seek His Affirmation, we must be certain to remember that it is our LORD who has given us what we have and we are His.
Do we remember where He has brought us from? Do we remember the gifts that He has given us to make us beautiful? It was the LORD who found us laying there dying and told us to “Live”. He is the one who is perfecting our beauty. We must affirm that our beauty is His and not do as the Israelites did by thinking they could rely on their beauty instead of Him.
Yes, LORD, what I have you have given me. I will use what You have given me for You.
Today’s Prayer: LORD, thank You for giving me life. Thank You for feeding me and adorning me with Your blessings. Help me to always remember that what I have is Yours and what I have I will use for You. Protect my sick heart Father God. I do remember where you have brought me from and I am Yours. Amen.
