Daily Bible Reading – June 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of Spiritual Renewal

DAY 23 OF 30

  

June 23

Introduction

As noted in yesterday’s reading, Ezekiel is instructed to eat a scroll on which are written “cries of grief” and “wails and groans” (2:10), an indication that the message he is to deliver from God will contain devastating news about the fall of Jerusalem and God’s impending punishment of the people (see chapters 4—9). Ezekiel is appointed to be a lookout for Israel and is instructed with regard to warnings he is to deliver. The chapter concludes with Ezekiel being told by God that he will be unable to speak for a while, an indication that Ezekiel is to speak only when God has a message for Ezekiel to convey to the people.

Today’s Reading 

Ezekiel 3:1-27

Today’s Key Verse: Ezekiel 3:12

Then God’s spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the loud roar of a voice that said, “Praise the glory of the LORD in heaven above!”

Reflect

Describe Ezekiel’s encounter with God (verses 1-15). Does Ezekiel receive any words of encouragement from God? What warnings is Ezekiel to deliver (verses 16-21)? What responsibilities are placed on him? Have you ever experienced a time when you felt called to warn someone to change their ways? If so, was it hard to do?

Pray

Sovereign God, sometimes it is hard to speak your word of truth to someone who has strayed from your teachings. Instill in me a spirit of boldness and take away my fears. Teach me to turn to you, trusting that you will guide my speech. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Speech therapists and those with speech impediments

Tomorrow’s Reading

Ezekiel 10:1-22: The Glory of the LORD leaves the Temple.
