Scripture for today: Ezekiel 25; Ezekiel 26; Ezekiel 27; Ezekiel 28; Revelation 10
Scripture-My special verse today: Ezekiel 28:14 You were anointed as a guardian cherub,
for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
15 You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created
till wickedness was found in you.
Observation: God declares that his people were made to be perfect and complete. They were not made to fall away from God in their created state. However, they lost their blameless ways when wickedness was found in them. Then, they became a wicked people who did not need God any longer. They turned away from their annointed ways and turned away from God.
Application: Was there ever a point when I was a guardian cherub and what does that even entail? Am I so far removed that I don’t even remember that state? At one point I know God created me to be blameless and holy for him but I have strayed so far. The closer I get to God the harder it is to stay connected to him. I find myself swayed by other things that want my attention and heart. I try so hard to remain a part of him but find myself more interested in doing whatever I want to do.
Being in Pine Ridge only made me more aware of my sin. I am too quick to judge and rely on God way too little. It is a sin to feel that the things I have are of my doing, rather they are all from the Lord.
Prayer: Help me remember the source of my strength and remain close to you all the time, not just when I need something.
