Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

September 3



Ezekiel 21-22
At the end of today’s reading, the Lord says, “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.  So I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger, bringing down on their own heads all they have done, declares the Sovereign Lord.”  We must ask ourselves if we are standing in the gap?  I love my country and have done all I am able to serve her faithfully.  However, in my short lifetime, I have witnessed the moral degradation that has almost completely engulfed the United States of America.  Our society has legalized the senseless slaughter of innocent babies, normalized sexual perversion, promoted vulgarity under the guise of free speech, and denounced sexual purity in marriage in favor of rampant sexual immorality in every facet of life.  How has this happened in such a great nation that was founded on the principles of Christianity?  I fear it is because God has not found many who are willing to stand in the gap, taking on the fiery arrows of those who are promoting this great evil.  Again, I ask, are you willing to stand in the gap?
