I was in the midst of a great valley when I was reading that book. We were losing our home and didn’t have money to go anywhere else. Anyways, the persecutions and trials that our good man Zeek faced left me so depressed in my own walk. YET, at the end of the book, Ezekiel got to experience God’s glory! It took my breath away and now I can honestly say there is no greater joy then experiencing that. But it does come with a high price…we have to die to self. Not easy, but oh, so worth it! God’s word is good. Thanks for sharing this, Lara!

One of my favorite verses comes from that book – Ezekiel 22:30 – “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one. (Ezekiel 22:30 NIV).

Ok ok – I know it sounds a tad gloom & doom – to an extent, it is, I suppose. But I choose to view it as a reminder to be the intercessor He calls us all to be! If only ONE person had stood up, God’s wrath would have been turned away. What if we started out as just the one person that we are & prayed for, interceded for, & believed God for the needs of people right before us? How much of an impact could we have? It boggles my mind! 🙂

He is always grace, isn’t He?! In spite of us, He loves. Praying He continues to mend those wounds.

I’m blessed to say I’ve had these moments, too. Where God speaks to me through his Living Word. Sometimes, it’s not what I want to hear that makes my heart well up in my eyes…

I blog about them often. and I don’t want to seem spammy, but because you asked here is an example: http://simplystriving.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/the-real-you/

Dealing with a horrendous childhood I could not move on in healing until I dealt with the abandonment of my mother. I was to see her in front of me so I set a picture. I was to ask her why I could live with her. I did (not very nicely either). My surrounds became blurry and I heard God say because I gave you (my husband and daughters). I gasped and it was so clear. If I had lived with my mother I would have lived in a differently state, believed a different faith.
It was so clear, he prepared me for meeting my husband. Prepared me for 40 years of marriage to the most accepting person I know. I was not a nice person but he loved, cared and calmly accepted the inner me. Thank you Father for seeing what I could not.
