Scripture:
Ezekiel 46:18 "The prince must not take any of the inheritance of the people, driving them off their property. He is to give his sons their inheritance out of his own property, so that not one of my people will be separated from their property".
Observation:
God is giving instructions here to Ezekiel about property, sacrifices, offerings, etc. In the process of talking about it, he made sure that the prince, or leadership, would not be able to take property away from His people and make it their possession. Here You see God's heart for His people. He protects the property of His people.
Application:
We must realize as the people of God that He loves us tremendously. He watches over us and makes sure we are not going to lose what is ours. He is always looking out for His own and thinking of them. We are loved by our father and He doesn't want anyone to take our inheritance from us. He doesn't want us separated from our property or to lose what He has given us. We must hear His heart in this and respond with love and commitment from us to Him.
Prayer:
Father, thanks for loving me so much. Thanks for taking care of your people and making sure we don't lose the things You have blessed us with. In the words of Christ Tomlin, You're a good good father!
Thanks,
Jeff
