SCRIPTURE: Ezekiel (NIV) 39:7 I will make known my holy name among my people Israel. I will no longer let my holy name be profaned, and the nations will know that I the LORD am the Holy One in Israel.
OBSERVATION: In the book of Ezekiel, over 60 times one finds the phrase “they will know that I am the LORD.” It is clear that God wants to be known for who He really is.
APPLICATION: If God wants to be known as LORD, then I should make it my priority to make Him known as LORD in my life. Of course, that starts with me being convinced that He is LORD and then living my life like He is LORD. If He is LORD, then what He wants is more important to me than what I want. If He is LORD, then what He wants me to do is more important to me than what I want to do. He can use my life to demonstrate that He is LORD to those around me.
This past week a remarkable young man (31), Charles Kirk, was assassinated while holding an open discussion on a college campus. He was clearly and boldly, fearlessly and passionately, yet politely and graciously presenting Biblical morality and new spiritual life in a relationship with the person of Jesus Christ. Clearly his life is a demonstration of living under the Lordship of Jesus. From the fire in his life many fires have been started in lives across the United States, and even in other nations. His presence in this world has definitely made a difference. May all our lives do the same.
PRAYER: LORD, I want you to truly be LORD in my life, and not just in words. May those who hear me say that you are my LORD, have no doubt that you really are LORD in my life. Amen
