#soap # Ezekiel 08 ## Title: A Fly On The Wall ## Scripture: (Ezekiel 8:7-8) He brought me to the entrance of the court, and as I watched, I noticed a hole in the wall. He said to me, “Son of man, dig into the wall.” So I dug into the wall and discovered a doorway. (NET) ## Observation: The Lord shows Ezekiel a vision where there is a chance to see the inner workings of the people and see how far they have fallen from Him. In our time, there is a phrase that symbolizes the same thing. When someone says, “I wish I could be a fly on the wall,” they mean they wish they could be an invisible observer of the situation. This is what Ezekiel was able to do. This is humbling when you realize those he saw had no idea he was there. Therefore, he was able to see how they really acted. What about us? If someone was able to be a fly on the wall in your life, what would they see? How would you act? What would you be looking at? How would you respond to circumstances? The greater thought is the Holy Spirit is always there and sees us, yet loves us anyway. He has been there when we were at our worst. He still loves us and works to untie every bondage we find ourselves in. ## Application: Take time to stand apart from your life and take an honest assessment as though you were an outside observer. Where do you need to repent? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for showing us where we can grow.
