Tuesday, October 15th | Ezekiel 2:1-7

Passage:
1 He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak with you.”
2 As he spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and I listened to the one who was speaking to me. 3 He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to the rebellious pagans who have rebelled against me. The Israelites and their ancestors have transgressed against me to this day. 4 The descendants are obstinate and hardhearted. I am sending you to them, and you must say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says.’ 5 Whether they listen or refuse to listen ​— ​for they are a rebellious house ​— ​they will know that a prophet has been among them.

6 “But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them and do not be afraid of their words, even though briers and thorns are beside you and you live among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words or discouraged by the look on their faces, for they are a rebellious house. 7 Speak my words to them whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.

Lyrics:
God of Abraham You're the God of covenant
Of faithful promises
Time and time again You have proven
You do just what You say

Though the storms may come
And the winds may blow
I'll remain steadfast
And let my heart learn when You speak a word
It will come to pass

Great is Your faithfulness to me
Great is Your faithfulness to me
From the rising sun to the setting same
I will praise Your name
Great is Your faithfulness to me

Oh
Seasons change
You remain the same

God from age to age
Though the earth may pass away
Your word remains the same yeah
Your history can prove
There's nothing You can't do
You're faithful and true

Oh Your faithfulness
It never runs out
It never runs out
Oh Your faithfulness
Oh it never runs out
(Never runs out)
It never runs out
(Never runs out)

I put my faith in Jesus
My anchor to the ground
My hope and firm foundation
He'll never let me down

From the rising sun to the setting same
I will praise Your name

I'll still bless You

Prayer:
This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
