Ezekiel 12 -14; Revelation 5

Seriously LOVE Tuesday mornings...listening to how You are working in women and through them, it's a JOY really. Even when the stuff You are doing is hard, is confusing and creating chaos in them, their marriages....knowing that it's You and seeing them want to lean into that no matter how hard.....is Joy.

Ezekiel 13 is frightening.....don't say God says...don't promise peace....I can only point them to You and their own journey to following. Point them to Your Son and know, absolutely KNOW what they will find......but sometimes I so get in the way and my words confuse and confound them....I need Your help Abba to be more quiet...more curious...more confident and loving.....And then you will know that I am the LORD.'

Ezekiel 14: 4 Therefore speak to them and tell them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When any Israelite sets up idols in his heart and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face and then goes to a prophet, I the LORD will answer him myself in keeping with his great idolatry. 5 I will do this to recapture the hearts of the people of Israel, who have all deserted me for their idols.' ....do we know what our idols are?? How to help people like the woman at the well....learn to sit in their growing awareness of who they are and let You see them....Your grace overwhelm them, not to get caught in shame or embarassment....to allow You to see and in that, see for themselves their great need for Jesus....for you to recapture their hearts......oh Abba such a dream, to sit with them.....knowing Your Grace, sitting with them in their pain to discover Your great love through knowing Christ.....

and then...and THEN in that GRACE and love ...for THEM to discover passions and gifts that will touch others that will grow Your Kingdom.......I mean, what's not to sell out for. You want US living to bring others to You....and THEN.......well watch out......
