An Opportunity to Show Mercy

In Ezekiel 22, the nation of Israel is in a total mess. The priests are violating the law, the princes and leaders are accepting bribes, the prophets are spreading false visions, and the people are oppressing and mistreating others. It seems like this nation deserved God's judgment. We can also reflect on our actions and realize we deserve God's judgment. Maybe we've been unkind, selfish, greedy, impure, or dishonest, but God does not think of judgment even in our miserable condition. He's looking for an opportunity to show mercy, just as He did in Ezekiel's day. No matter how undeserving we may feel, God is always ready to extend His mercy to us. Turn to Him today. If you've sinned, confess and ask Him for forgiveness. It's time to pray.
