Week 34 - Day 3

Ezekiel 22-23; Psalm 124

*Click here to read these passages:

“I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.” (Ezekiel 22:30)

This verse stopped me in my tracks.  God said He looked for a man, one man, so He wouldn’t have to destroy the land.  It says so He “wouldn’t have to” – which shows us once again that He didn’t want to destroy it.  So God looked for someone who would make a difference but couldn’t find even one.

Not one to stand up.  Not one to say yes.  I thought back through some whom God did great things through and how He didn’t force them.  Those such as Moses, Joshua, Isaiah, Jeremiah—He  showed them what He wanted them to do, and even though they may have been scared or doubtful, ultimately they said yes.

God is always looking for those who will say yes …
