Eze 1:1-3:15; Heb 3:1-19
Both the OT and NT spoke about the stubbornness of the heart.
Ezekiel began with a description of the spirit of God. They are full of glory, though made up of 4 creatures, they moved in synchronization and in unity in direction.
The heart of man – is always for himself. Ezekiel described the Israelites as someone who has a iron forehead – hard for anything (God’s word) to penetrate – stubborn. Eze 2:8 Hear what I say to you. Be not rebellious like that rebellious house.
Ask then about ourselves – the pride and confidence in ourselves points us away from God. I pray that God will continue to take the center stage of my life. Indeed, let not the dependency on what I know, but what is right in God. I pray for an intimate relationship with Him and pray that this relationship will grow. The words speak, but I have not act – pure disobedience!
Heb 3:8 “Today if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in rebellion”
Yes, I have a request to God – should I move out next year. I know God will bring me out (like Egypt) but will I die in the wilderness in disobedience? Therefore, I pray that during this time, I will learn about obedience, putting your voice and your words seriously, least that I choose to believe in my own strength and rebel against you and forget about your blessings. Then judgment will come and that will see my fall. Let me therefore learn and not to willfully act in any disobedience.
