Then I said, ‘I will not make mention of Him, nor speak anymore in His name.’ But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, and I could not
Ezekiel was consumed with passion for the Lord. His zeal could not be contained. Even when he tried to control himself, the words burst past the barrier. Are you full of fiery faith? Or has your faith become so bland, benign, and boring that it is met with yawns?
When someone asks about Jesus, we must be ready to share the life, truth, and hope that has revolutionized our lives. Share the kind of Savior that no one can ignore. Proclaim a Redeemer that no one can forget. Leave them in no doubt that He is everything.
We were dead, lost in sin, bound for hell, but He rescued us. He saved us, set us free. Where there was sorrow, He gave us joy. Where there was weakness, He became our strength. When we were alone and lonely, He became our Friend. When we only deserved judgment, He extended mercy.
Jesus Christ is not some powerless, dead historical figure. He is alive. He is present. If you are thirsty, He is the Living Water. If you are hungry, He is the Bread of Life. He protects. He intercedes. He fills us up. He satisfies our souls. He is awesome in strength and mighty in power.
He is the Lamb of God.
He is the Lion of Judah.
He is the Indescribable Gift.
He is our Great High Priest.
He is our Mediator.
He is our Hope.
He is our Peace.
He is our Burden Bearer.
He is our Good Shepherd.
He is our Refuge.
He is our Strength.
He is our Rock.
He is our Sword.
He is our Shield.
He is our Way Maker.
He is our Miracle Worker.
He is our Wonderful Counselor.
He is our Everlasting Father.
He is Lord of lords.
He is King of kings.
There is no one beside Him, no one above Him. There is none like Him. He is an ever-present help in time of trouble. He is great and greatly to be praised! If we refuse to praise Him, the rocks will pipe up in our place (Luke 19:40). Stir up the embers within, and blaze forth His glory!
Blessing:
Heavenly Father, there is no one like You! I exalt You! I will praise Your mighty acts and Your excellent greatness. I will not allow a rock to take my place. In every way, I will magnify You. I will lift You up on high. I will sing to You as long as I live! In the name of Jesus…Amen.
