Just like the harlot....!

Ezekiel 16:9, 15, 36-37, 43 NKJV

“Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil. “But you trusted in your own beauty, played the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would  have it. Thus says the Lord God : “Because your filthiness was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotry with your lovers, and with all your abominable idols, and because of the blood of your children which you gave to them, surely, therefore, I will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved, and all those you hated; I will gather them from all around against you and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness. Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but agitated Me with all these things, surely I will also recompense your deeds on your  own head,” says the Lord God . “And you shall not commit lewdness in addition to all your abominations.

† Shalom †......! Day #348. Do you know that we always trust our own abilities and lean on our own understanding and we neglect God's ways in our lives? Let's pray. Father,  forgive us for leaning on our own understanding. We repent today Lord. Come and have Your ways in us Lord...in Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen!

In Proverbs 3:5-8 NKJV, it's written that "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones." Many at times rely upon our own "beauty" as the verse says in Ezekiel 16 today. When God has cleanse us from all of our filthiness, from all the rubbish that's in our lives, yet after everything God has done,  we neglect the ways of God, neglect the rebukes of God,  neglect the corrections of God and we do it our way, just as Frank Sinatra sang the song "I did it my way."

The Lord says " But you trusted in your own beauty, played the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would  have it." What happens when we trust in our own ways, our own strength,  talents and giftings?  Read carefully folks. When we began to glorify ourselves we are stealing God's glory and when we do that,  we will fall and not just fall but we will begin to "sell" ourselves to the world just like a harlot "selling" ourselves for cheap price just to receive praises Nd glorification from men. For every action there's an equal reaction. For everything we do now at this age, youth, God will bring it to judgement. We are answerable to every acts we do. This happens because we are so stubborn,  ego or pride conquers our lives. So how's the conditions of our hearts today? It's all begins from our hearts. If we are right before God, we will fear God. No point serving God if we aren't willing to allow God to transform us from inside out.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
