Song # 2007 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In the Book of Ezekiel we read in chapter 11 that the word of the Sovereign Lord comes to Ezekiel, saying that He will return His people to the land of Israel. They will be His people, and He will be their God.
Word came to Ezekiel “This is what the Sovereign Lord says ‘Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone’” (Ezekiel 11:16). “Therefore say ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says. I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again’” (Ezekiel 11:17). “They will return to it and remove all its vile images and detestable idols” (Ezekiel 11:18). “I will give them an undivided heart and put a new Spirit in them. I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh” (Ezekiel 11:19). “Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God” declares the Sovereign Lord (Ezekiel 11:20).
Thought for today: no-one is more secure than those in God’s hands.
Thought for the future: when God forgives, He restores the soul. Where will you spend your eternity?
