TOPIC: Ministry
SCRIPTURE: "I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; BUT I FOUND NO ONE." (Ezekiel 22:30)
OBSERVATION: My Life Application Study Bible includes this commentary for this section. "The wall spoken of here is not made of stones but faithful people united in their efforts to resist evil. This wall was in disrepair because there was no one who could lead the people back to God. The feeble attempts to repair the gap - through religious rituals or messages based on opinion rather than God's will - were as worthless as whitewash, only covering over the real problems. What the people really needed was total spiritual reconstruction!"
APPLICATION: "When we give the appearance of loving God without living his way, we are covering up sins that could eventually damage us deeply.
Don't use religion
as a whitewash
repair your life
by
applying the principles
of God's Word.
Then
you can join with others
to stand
"in the gap"
&
make a difference
4 God
N
your
world."

READY?

WILLING?

THE ONE?
PRAYER: Father God, help me to be found as one that is ready and willing to "build up the wall" and "stand in the gap"!!!
