Departure (August 12)

Then the glory of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.
                                            Ezekiel 10:18 NIV

Uff da!  The glory of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple!  In other words, the Lord left his house.

Consider how bad it was in Judah,  we read yesterday that because of detestable idols, the Lord allowed fathers to eat children and children to eat fathers.  (Ezekiel 5:9-10).   How terrible! 

God departed the sinful people.  Let us be thankful that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit and that we will never have God depart from us.  Let us not grieve the Spirit.  Let us, with love and the Spirit's guidance, guide those who are not yet sealed with the Holy Spirit to a saving faith in our Lord and Savior while there is still time. 

How have you invited people to attend church with you?

What have you done to introduce others to your saving faith in Christ?

Pray for the Spirit's guidance to tell the story.

In Christ,

David P
