The Wrong And Right Way To Approach God

 

Today's verse is Ezekiel 14:7

For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself: 

    From the verse above do you understand the nature of the person that is described? Is it not the same that Jeremiah lamented about as he testified, Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly. But what does the Lord God want from us? Consider what Paul told the Hebrews, He [God] is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him, and again what is the greatest commandment? Is it not, Thous shalt love the Lord they God with al thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and in the Gospels, we find that our minds are also included. In Revelation, we are told that Jesus hates those that are lukewarm, so therefore, let us choose this day, If God be God, let us come to him with a whole heart, and seek and serve him with diligence, and remember what he told King Asa, The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. How will God shew himself strong for you? Selah [Don’t be surprised by the answer.] Amen.

To God be the Glory
