----
Father God, such a lesson in not relying on our own strength, our own riches -- or even in the help of other people. You, and You alone can save us. You can cast down the mighty in a moment. Nations come and go, but You remain forever. You are our Source. You are our Provider. You are our Redeemer. We trust in You alone. Amen

----
Father God, what You desire from us is faithfulness, as You are faithful. Yet, we fall short again and again, in little ways. Too busy to read Your Word one day. Or we don't spend time in prayer. Or we don't do the things You have laid upon our hearts. Or we spend time in activities that aren't uplifting. Or we allow bad habits to remain in our lives. Or we trust in our own strength instead of Yours. Help us, Father, to be more faithful to You. May we listen intently for the whispers of Holy Spirit directing us in the way we should go. Thank You for Your patience with us, and for Your faithful love. Amen

Today on Meditating the Word, Babylon as God's source of judgment, and judgment on Jerusalem's sins.
This is Day 245. Today we are reading Ezekiel 21-22
----
Father God, help us to discern between the clean and the unclean, and to make a distinction between the holy and the common. It's so easy to be led astray in these times and to be distracted by the things of the world. Not everything is bad, but not everything is holy and worthy of our attention. Father, we will stand in the gap and intercede for those who do not know You. We know the time is short, and You don't want anyone to be lost. Guide us in what we should do and may Holy Spirit give us the words to say. Thank You, Father, for Your love and mercy. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen

----
Father God, thank You for Your justice, that each of us is responsible for our own acts and decisions. And thank You for Your mercy, that when we do wrong, all we have to do is repent. You have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but wish that everyone would turn to You and be saved. We turn to You, Father. We transform ourselves through Your Word. You are the Lord who sanctifies us. Thank You, Father. Amen----

Thank You for Your unmerited favor. Help us to always walk in Your ways and to give You all the glory. Amen----

Father God, thank You for Your Word, and for the book of Ezekiel. The visions he saw, of Your glory, made him fall to the ground, face down, in awe and worship. Father, we also fall before You in awe, and we worship You. We read and study and listen to Your Word diligently. We know it is Spirit-breathed. As Ezekiel ate the scroll, so too, Father, we ingest Your Word, we fill ourselves with it day after day, so that we, too, can stand firm and upright no matter what happens around us... though we are amonth riers and thorns and dwell among scorpions, we won't be afraid of the words of others or dismayed by their looks. Our hope and our strength is in You. Amen
