www.dailythoughts.com Ezekiel 18:30-32

"Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, all of you according to your ways—oracle of the Lord GOD. Turn, turn back from all your crimes, that they may not be a cause of sin for you ever again. Cast away from you all the crimes you have committed, and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, house of Israel? For I find no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies—oracle of the Lord GOD. Turn back and live!" Ezekiel‬ ‭18:30-32‬

What is God telling us about death?  It is real, hell exists and we will suffer the consequences of our actions if we do not turn back from our sinful ways.  I am surrounded by many and I ponder how many know God?  Truly know him?  My heart aches for those who go through life not paying attention to their Father in Heaven.   Who do you say He is?  "I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die." John‬ ‭6:48-50.  Life or death, the choice is yours and yours alone.  

Dear Lord God, You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God, may we have faith and true repentance in our lives.  Your chastisement approaches and yet there is much to do.  Awaken our souls to the purpose of life, give us conviction of heart and passion in our steps.  Rebuild your church as you prepared your disciples in days of old.  Thank Lord for the treasures of life and the desire to know You and who You are.  Prayers for a friend whose life is in a mess, You are greater than any of his problems become real to him and rekindle his soul.   I ask this in the name above every other name, Jesus Christ, Amen.  

Mary, Our Lady of Victory, pray for us.  



Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.  1 John 4:4b
