The Vision, Day 33

Action. Read Ezekiel chapter 33.

So much of what Ezekiel has prophesied has come true. The people are in exile and Ezekiel even hears word of the destruction of Jerusalem. God makes this statement to Ezekiel. People are still coming to Ezekiel to hear his prophecies. People still want to hear the word of the Lord. The problem is they do nothing with it. There’s no action taken based on what God is telling them.

They hear God’s word and then continue doing all the wrong things that they have been doing. Can we really say we know something if we aren’t doing it? What we do is a reflection of what we believe, and everything else is just a lie. The actions that we take explain in crystal clear words to other people the truth of our beliefs and the depth of our commitment.

If we are listening, hearing, and understanding God’s word, but we are not changed by it, then we don’t really know it. We can’t really say that we are a part of it. We don’t believe it. Our hearing must turn to action, just like Ezekiel was telling the people of Israel.
