Today’s Bible Reading: Ezekiel 15, 16; Psalm 70; Revelation 6

Scripture Focus:

Ezekiel 16:8 “When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine,” says the Lord GOD.

Observation:

I love how God uses the picture of marriage to show his love for his people and how we should love him back. In this case, it’s an unequal marriage. We come to naked and needy, and he covers our nakedness and enters into a covenant with us.

The verses that follow tell how God lavished his favor and riches on his beloved, but she trusted in her own beauty and played the harlot.

Application:

God has done so much for me! May I be like a good and faithful wife to him, all the days of my life. I believe God wants intimacy with each of his children, for he is our husband.

Prayer:

Father God, thank you for loving me when I was poor and needy. Thank you for lavishing your goodness upon me.
