Ezekiel-26

In Faithful Obedience: A Devotional Study on Ezekiel 26​

Introduction​

In Ezekiel 26, we find an oracle against the city of Tyre. The prophecy highlights the judgment God will bring against this great city, as a result of their rejection of Him. As we delve into this passage, let's examine the lessons we can learn about faithful obedience and trust in God's sovereignty.

Section 1: The Glory of Tyre (Ezekiel 26:1-5)​

Devotional Thought: Tyre was once a great city, adored for its wealth and prominence. Yet, now, it is a city forgotten, with the people's riches and beauty drained. Today, we are reminded that our time on earth is fleeting, and we must invest in what truly matters - a relationship with God.

Reflection Questions:

  • In what ways have we sought after worldly wealth and prestige over a relationship with God?
  • How can we invest in our relationship with God, knowing that our time on earth is limited?

Section 2: The Judgment of God (Ezekiel 26:6-14)​

Devotional Thought: God's judgment will come against Tyre, and the people of the city will be cast out. The once-great city will be left desolate and lifeless. As we witness this judgment, we are reminded of our own need for repentance and obedience.

Reflection Questions:

  • In what ways have we reject God's commands and messages?
  • How can we repent and submit to God's sovereign will?

Section 3: The Hope of the Restored (Ezekiel 26:15-18)​

Devotional Thought: Despite the judgment of God, there is hope for the restored. In the end, God will rebuild and replant Tyre, making it a great city once again. We are encouraged to trust in God's restoration and renewal, as He continues to build His kingdom on earth.

Reflection Questions:

  • In what ways have we doubted God's ability to restore and renew?
  • How can we trust in God's promises of restoration and renewal?

Conclusion:​

As we conclude our devotional journey through Ezekiel 26, let's stand in awe of God's judgment and hope. This oracle serves as a reminder of our need for faithful obedience and trust in God's sovereign will. Let us cling to God's promises of restoration and renewal, knowing that He is a faithful God on whom we can always rely.
