And you will know that I am the Lord, for you have not followed my decrees or kept my laws but have conformed to the standards of the nations around you.”

Ezekiel 11

And you will know that I am the Lord, for you have not followed my decrees or kept my laws but have conformed to the standards of the nations around you.” v12

The Lord calls us to be separate, not of this world, and not to conform to the ways of the world but to Him.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2

It must be clear to others that God exists, He is sovereign, and He desires all of His children to come to Him.  We must act in a way so that others see Jesus.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16

My Prayer: Lord, Your ways are perfect, Your will is perfect, and everything about You is perfect, pure and holy.  I so desire to be like You.  Yet I fall short, in my sloth, my haste, my anger, my arrogance, etc.  Thank You for Your love but please forgive me Lord Jesus!  Help me be more like You.  Help me so that Your desires are my desires.  Help me be more bold so that others see Jesus in me.
