EZEKIAL 7-9
Their silver and gold
will not be able to deliver them
in the day of the Lord’s wrath.
It will not satisfy their hunger
or fill their stomachs,
for it has caused them to stumble into sin. (7:19)
HEBREWS 10:24-39
23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds...
JOURNAL
To wake up each and every day and cling to seeking truth and obedience to God means that the old scripts of selfishness, hatred, revenge, bitterness and deceit will not be followed. It means that the spirit of God and love will occupy my thoughts and my objective for life and living.
My pursuit will no longer be how to feel better and how to meet my needs but will take confidence in that following God will meet all my needs and will fulfill my purpose in a way that will bring me a sense of satisfaction and joy. This will then give me the courage to live out the rest of my days in faithfull obedience. To keep going when it's hard, even when the world does not reward that devotion and obedience.
