September 6, 2011 (Ezekiel 29-32; Revelation 11)
From the Life Journal of Adam Proux:
Scripture: “For the day is near, even the day of the Lord is near; It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.” Ezekiel 30:3 NASB
Observation: A warning is issued. Ezekiel was instructed by God to tell them the end was coming. A time of doom and destruction. A dreadful day that would come upon them with warning that was not heeded.
Application: God has warned us of a day coming as well. Many talk of that day and act like it will be a grand and glorious day for all. Each day that passes brings us closer to the day of the Lord. Are we heeding the warning? Do we really think today, could be that day? Are you living in a way that will be found to please God, or enrage His wrath? The day is coming, even the day of the Lord is near.
Prayer: Father, thank You for Your patience. You have proven to be the perfect example of holiness. Help me I pray to be ready for the day Jesus steps out on the clouds and calls me to meet Him in the air. When that day comes, let Christ find faith in me. Anoint my hands to do things pleasing to You. Anoint my thoughts to think on You. Cleanse me of all unrighteousness and make my soul clean in Your site. Prepare me for Your day, in Jesus name, Amen.
