Ezekiel 6

God has spoken against the city and now He addresses the places of height (mountains and hills) and to the ravines and valleys - He will bring a sword and destroy the high places. They are the ones that house the altars and poles and of course, the people that inhabit them. We sometimes look at the hills and the landscape even when we drive or on a golf course or park and can't imagine this especially when we are in awe of the beauty of these surroundings. In God's eyes, they are no less innocent than the people that they are inhabited by and support.
The concept of remnant theology is expressed in v. 8 - so that some are spared and in v.9 and 10 will turn from their wicked ways and know that God did not bring this calamity upon them but rather themselves. They will also see His holiness and ultimately His mercies. Nevertheless, the calamity that will be brought upon them will spread near and far as they will feel the wrath of the Lord. Again, what condition have they fallen to so as to deserve and justify this wrath! Are we far from it in our society? and in our own lives? I pray that I am faithful so as to be included in His remnants as time draws near to His coming.

Prayers for today: that I may gain the time to see a podiatrist for my foot and get this solved for once and for all. That my peeps ( and that list is growing!) gets better and stays such! For my family and their trials and walks!

Praise for today: I praise Him for justice and His standards which never change!
