Good morning, everyone!
Today I read Ezekiel 16-17.
In today's reading, God scolds Israel for their disobedience, likening them to a harlot.
Did you ever think of it like that? When we sin, it's like we're cheating on God. Take a moment to let that sink in. That's a vivid detail.
And bear in mind, this isn't just one person. It's a whole nation that has ignored God's commandments and turned to other gods.
So God scolds Israel and describes their punishment. But He also describes His grace. He says that He will reach out and save His people; He will cleanse them, and they will return to Him, and He will forgive them.
This is the message He gives to Ezekiel.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Ezekiel 18-20.
