Ezekiel 16- 30
Day 246 September 3 - Ezekiel 16 and 17
In chapter 16, we read about the helplessness of an abandoned baby that was seemingly on the verge of death. The parable discusses the origin of Jerusalem as a city and not that of Israel as a nation. The nation of Israel originated between God, Abraham, and Sarah but the city of Jerusalem had her beginning with the Amorites and the Hittites. The Lord is telling them that if they were to brag on their feeble beginning, they truly did not have much to brag about. The little city of Jerusalem was nothing more than an abandoned child whose mother had walked away from her and had left her for dead. There was nothing beautiful about her and in reality she was an illegitimate orphan.

The Lord tells them that as he passed by he saw her laying there in her feebleness and helplessness, and he adopted her and to her unto himself. The same can be said about those within the church, can it not? How many of us could brag and say that we were worthy to be saved? The bible says that all of us had gone astray and any righteousness that we could put forth was nothing but as a filthy rag. I remember who I was and where I was headed when the Lord found me and placed me within his family. I was a vile sinner that deserved to die and go to hell but for whatever reason he saw my laying there in my sinfulness, my selfishness, my nothingness, and right then and there he washed me and clothed me in his righteousness. I can never forget the day when the Lord adopted this ole vile wicked sinner and placed his robe of righteousness upon me and his jewels of grave and mercy about me.
