He speaks!

Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer

September 6: Ezekiel 29-32; Revelation 11

Scripture: Ezekiel (NIV) 29:1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:

Observation: In Ezekiel 29-32 one finds five more similar verses. Each one has a specific year, month, and day. Each one ends with, “…the word of the LORD came to me.” Several things came to my mind when reading these verses. First, Ezekiel must have kept a diary. Second, God spoke in specific times. Third, Ezekiel recognized when God was speaking to him. Fourth, God’s words were important enough to Ezekiel to write them down. Fifth, God is interested in nations and their governments.

Application: God speaks to individuals today; He speaks to me! If it is important enough for God to tell me, it is important enough for me to write it down. It is probably good for me to put a date on the things God speaks to me.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your faithfulness in speaking to me. May others be blest. Amen
