Ezekiel 10 Devotional: When God’s Glory Departs—And Why It Matters

Image
When God’s Glory Leaves πŸ˜₯ 7-Step QT πŸ™ Quiet Time πŸ“… July 31, 2025 ✝️ Ezekiel 10:9-22 πŸ“– 18 Then the glory of the LORD went out from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim. 19 And the cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth before my eyes as they went out, with the wheels beside them. And they stood at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the LORD, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them (vv. 18-19). πŸ“ God’s glory departs from the temple, pausing twice—perhaps out of sorrow. Though His holiness demands separation from sin, His love lingers. This moment reminds us of the gravity of sin and the depth of God’s grace. We give thanks for the mercy that restores what our rebellion once drove away. πŸ’¬ What does this passage speak to you today? πŸ™ Share below, and let’s encourage one another in prayer! 7-Step QT Notes 1. πŸ™ Quiet Time Pause.

God Sees Everything 🌎 7-Step QT πŸ™ Quiet Time πŸ“… July 29, 2025 ✝️ Ezekiel 9:1-11 πŸ“– Then he said to me, “The guilt of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of blood, and the city full of injustice. For they say, ‘The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD does not see.’ As for me, my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity; I will bring their deeds upon their heads.” (vv. 9-10) God’s grace saves us through faith in Jesus, though we don’t deserve it. But grace doesn’t cancel justice. God sees and judges sin. As believers, we’re not only recipients of mercy—we’re also called to live out His justice in a broken world, reflecting His holiness in how we live and lead. πŸ’¬ What does this passage speak to you today? πŸ™ Share below, and let’s encourage one another in prayer! 7-Step QT Notes 1. πŸ™ Quiet Time Pause.

Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me (v. 17) πŸ“ A watchman’s role is to stay alert and speak up when danger approaches. God called Ezekiel to warn others with His Word, not to stay silent. Likewise, we’re called to share God’s truth faithfully. Our job isn’t to control outcomes—but to obey and speak when God gives us a message. πŸ’¬ What does this passage speak to you today? πŸ™ Share below, and let’s encourage one another in prayer! 7-Step QT Notes 1. πŸ™ Quiet Time Pause.

But we’re not called to rely on ourselves. God’s strong hand sustains us, and His Spirit empowers us to speak boldly. It’s not our mission—it’s His.

God’s Faithful Messenger πŸ—£️ 7-Step QT πŸ™ Quiet Time πŸ“… July 20, 2025 ✝️ Ezekiel 2:1-10 πŸ“– And you shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house (v. 7). πŸ“ God commands us to speak His Word, even when people refuse to listen. Their rejection stems from rebellion, not our inadequacy. Though it may seem ineffective, obedience becomes joyful when we understand that God’s message is driven by love—even for those who resist Him. Faithfulness matters more than results. πŸ’¬ What does this passage speak to you today? πŸ™ Share below, and let’s encourage one another in prayer! 7-Step QT Notes 1. πŸ™ Quiet Time Pause.

It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs (v. 10) πŸ“ Paul’s ancient letter to Timothy still challenges today’s believers. Among his teachings, the warning about the love of money in verse 10 stands out. In a world obsessed with wealth, Christians are reminded to desire Christ above riches.
