The Lord
“When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands, then they will know that I am the LORD.” – Ezekiel 30:26 NASB
This message repeats throughout the book of Ezekiel: God wanted people to “know” that He is the Lord. This phrase repeats eight times alone in Ezekiel 29 and 30.
This is a constant theme throughout the Bible, beginning in the opening pages. We see God as the Lord of all creation in the Garden of Eden. There, Adam and Eve were able to experience the glories of creation until they stopped thinking of Him as the Lord. Suddenly their fellowship with God was broken and the blessings stopped.
God knows why making Him Lord is so important. This is the starting point for a life of blessing and fulfillment, receiving all the blessings He has prepared for us.
Yet even believers can forget God and take Him for granted. This happens when we make ourselves the center of the universe and fail to treat Him as the Lord when we fail to remember that everything should start with Him.
Why is this so important? God wants us to experience fulfillment and abundance. This life starts when we make Him our Lord.
Today, humble yourselves before God. Don’t allow pride to dominate your life. Don’t seek to chart your own path, but trust in Him with all your heart. Don’t lean on your own understanding but acknowledge Him in all your ways. Let Him direct your path. Worship Him. Make Him the Lord of everything.
Reflection Question: How can you remind yourself not to take God for granted?
Prayer
Father, I humble myself before You. Forgive me of pride. You are the Lord of my life. Help me to please and serve You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
