What is God to You

Today's verse is Ezekiel 24:16
Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. 

What is God to you? In Luke, Jesus tells us: "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."  We see an example of this here. Ezekiel by God's testimony loves and desires his wife. She is important to him, yet when God requires that he let her go, and not even morn her passing, he obeys. So that God can use it as an object lesson to Israel. Let us therefore, consider ourselves, are we as Ezekiel that nothing is as important to him as his relationship with God, or are we as Israel is here, that they think nothing of their relationship to God. Such is the contrast. So I ask again, "What is God to you?"

To God be the Glory
