"Then they will know that I am the Lord." As God speaks through Ezekiel He consistently uses this phrase. In the midst of pronouncing judgements on the wickedness of Israel He constantly reminds them that He is the Lord God. All of the idols of the Israelites could not compare to the Lord God. He was making that abundantly clear in His decalrations. How sad that it was made known in the midst of judgement. How great it is that we can know that He is the Lord God through His mighty work in and through us. The passages in John and 2 Peter show that we don't have to wait on God's judgement to know His awesome work, we can know it through all He desires to do in us. In 2 Peter 1:16, Peter says, "we were eyewitnesses to His majesty." How great is that?
Today, as God's children, we have a choice. Will we see the majesty of God through how He moves and works powerfully through us, or will He have to show us by His judgement because we have put other "idols" ahead of Him? Choose today to walk with Him, remove all other allegiances, and see His glory displayed in your life.
