#soap # Ezekiel 26 ## Title: The Lord Fights For Us ## Scripture: (Ezekiel 26:21) “I will bring terrors on you, and you will be no more! Though you are sought after, you will never be found again, declares the Sovereign Lord.”” (NET) ## Observation: These nations have not been friends to Israel. They have made life difficult and may have thought they had escaped the wrath of God. It is possible Israel may have thought these nations were exempt from God’s justice. It would be easy to predict Israel’s feelings when they received the judgment of God. They could have said, “What about these other nations? They are doing the same as us. We learned it all from them!” While it is never a good idea to compare our relationship with God to someone else, we can rest assured that God’s justice is for all. We never have to wonder why God judges us and not others. He doesn’t do that. God fights for us. He deals out the same justice to everyone. Is there someone in your life who seems to be getting ahead while you are falling further behind? Is there someone who is doing the same thing that got you in trouble but they are gaining rewards? Do you feel like God is being unfair with you? None of that is true. We do not know what the Lord is doing in their life and what is coming soon. That is between them and God. Our job is to focus on walking in freedom and helping others do the same. We leave our “enemy” to the Lord. He knows what He is doing. ## Application: Keep your eyes on your progress. Don’t measure your relationship with God by someone else’s current situation. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for walking with each of us.
