Today, I am reading and commenting on Ezekiel 24-26.

Today is another day where my thoughts revolve around a single phrase.  In verse thirteen of chapter twenty-four God says through Ezekiel, “Because I tried to cleanse you but you would not be cleansed from your impurity, you will not be clean again until my wrath against you has subsided.”  This is part of the explanation for the parable about the cooking pot which Ezekiel had just finished.  God is trying to cleanse us of the lewdness which makes us impure.  If we resist Him He will use ever more abrasive methods to purify us.  God will continue to increase the force He brings to bear until we yield, or are destroyed.  He allowed the desecration of the temple where He had put His name.  Let us yield to His efforts to cleanse us before He desecrates the temple He has made of our bodies.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
