#soap # Ezekiel 23 ## Title: Ever Thought About God’s Point of View? ## Scripture: (Ezekiel 23:49) “They will repay you for your obscene conduct, and you will be punished for idol worship. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.”” (NET) ## Observation: Have you ever thought about God’s point of view when it comes to our relationship with Him? Yes, He is the King of kings and knows all. He sees the end from the beginning. He reigns supreme over all and is Sovereignly in control at all times. However, He also created the emotions He has given us. He knows what joy, grace, and grief feel like. He created all of humanity for the joy of fellowship with them. How do you think it is for Him to watch us go our own way? This chapter lays out God’s point of view through the pen of Ezekiel. It is devastating. May we never make God feel this way. May we always draw closer and closer to Him. If we find ourselves drifting, let’s come back to Him over and over again. ## Application: Sit and think about how God must feel when we wander. Then be thankful for His grace and goodness. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always being patient with us.
