Ezekiel 43
As the Lord brings the Israelites back from exile to Jerusalem, He also restores the city and the temple. He makes His presence known through Ezekiel:
What a great God we have that He forgives and restores. He is full of mercy and compassion - even when we are not deserving.
My Prayer: Lord, You ARE a great God and full of compassion and mercy - even when we are not deserving. You forgive and restore...and of course that is only a tiny sliver of who You are and how great You are! Words cannot describe how great You are! And that You love me despite my impatience, selfishness, and my critical thoughts and words for others. Thank You Lord for such mercy and love. Please forgive me. Please help rid me of such sin and help me so that I see others as You do. And that Your desires are my desires Lord. Help me deepen my desire for You and serve You fully - with all of my heart, mind, and soul.
...and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters, and the land was radiant with his glory. v2

His voice was like the roar of rushing waters, and the land was radiant with his glory. 3 The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when he came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell facedown. 4 The glory of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing east. 5 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. v2-5
