Stubborn And Hard-Hearted People

Ezekiel 2:4 They are stubborn and hard-hearted people. But I am sending you to say to them, "this is what the Sovereign Lord says!" And whether they listen or not for remembering they are rebels, at least they will know they had a prophet among them.

There's someone that woke up but was unable to get up. Some are sick, falsely incarcerated, marriage has failed, and children are disobedient. Some are homeless, not in their right mind, and have just given up hope. Considering all the violence and evil in the world (and all the violence and corruption committed in His own 'holy book'), people have a hard time finding any reason You are worthy of any worship. But do we ever stop and think that what went on in the past and in our lives today is because we have not accepted God? IF we seek God with all our hearts and minds, He will save us. Yes, we will still suffer the adversity of day-to-day living, but we will be at peace. We will have joy; because we will feel His presence and know whatever we are going through, God will turn it around for our good.

Father, we are stubborn and hard-hearted because most of us do not know You, so we have little faith in what we cannot see. Lord, we tend to trust man instead of You because we think we know him. Lord, we do not understand that a man cannot save us. Lord, we come boldly to Your throne to ask for the wisdom of who and what You are and the knowledge of how to gain the prosperity and eternal life of Your promise. Father, give us Your courage to stand on Your Word so we can believe in the unseen. Lord, we have lived in the flesh and understand how hard our flesh can be, so give us Your strength to put our flesh to rest. Lord, teach us how to wear the full-body armor You have provided so that we will be ready for the day-to-day BATTLE of our spirit and flesh. Lord, help us be more Christ-like so we may have self-control when temptation shows its ugly face. Father, You know our needs and wants; please bless us according to, Your will not change our own. In Jesus' name, we pray Amen.
