QT 08/11/2024 Fri. Ezekiel 39. Cleansed for Service.
READ https://www.esv.org/Eze+39/
MEDITATION: God's rule over the universe was evident in His dealings with Gog and Magog (Ezek 39:1,6). Fire was at His disposal (Ezek 39:6), so were the birds and beasts (Ezek 39:17) to do His will.
In view of the LORD's majestic powers, the LORD's people can trust in the victory that would be brought about by the LORD Himself. The multiple "I will" in the passage encourage listeners to take note of this fact (Ezek 39:2,3,4,6,7,11,21,25,28), that the LORD would bring about the return of His people to His land.
In addition, the LORD required that the land be cleansed from the decay of the corpses. This was considered unclean under Numbers 5:2, 9:6, 19:16. With this uncleanness sorted out, it was fitting that the LORD would pour out His Spirit "upon the house of Israel" (Ezek 39:29).
APPLICATION: Do not forget the resolutions that you have set for this year. Work towards them. It is urgent to trust the LORD and order our lifestyles and behaviour such that they would be fitting for the residence of the LORD and His Spirit.

默想:神对宇宙的统治方式从祂如何处理歌革和玛高革上可见一斑
神掌管宇宙在祂处理歌革和玛高革的事上处处可见(结39:1,6)。祂能够召唤火(结39:6),也能够召唤飞鸟和走兽(结39:17)来完成祂的旨意。
因着耶和华威猛的力量,神的子民可以信靠耶和华,祂必会带来胜利。那多次在经文出现的“我要”鼓励听众留心这个事实(结39:2,3,4,6,7,11,21,25,28),耶和华必会把祂的子民领回祂的地。
另外,耶和华要那腐尸之地被洁净。这在民数记5:2,9:6,19:16是被看为不洁净的。唯有这污秽被处理掉后,耶和华的灵才能浇灌在“以色列家”(结39:29)。
应用:别忘了你今年所定下的计划。努力的去实现吧!但紧迫的是信靠耶和华并调整自己的生活方式和行为,使你成为适合耶和华和圣灵的居住之所。
