Ezekiel 31-33
God tells Ezekiel that the people take pleasure in hearing him, but that they do not do what he says. Yet, a time is coming when they will know that a prophet has been among them. Unfortunately, there are many yet today who gather those who speak words of comfort to them, telling them what they want to hear. And, when the preacher speaks words of conviction it is as though he said nothing at all. People who only hear without conviction are self-deluded. God expects us to change when we learn His will if it conflicts with what we are doing or not doing. If we fail to follow the word of God, we are only deceiving ourselves into believing that we walk with the Lord. There will be a day of reckoning, and if we have willingly chosen to ignore His word, we will have to answer for our dereliction.
