Day 228 – Chronological Bible in One Year Devotion from Ezekiel 3:16-27, Ezekiel 4, Jeremiah 27, Jeremiah 28, and Jeremiah 51:59-64:
God’s call to Ezekiel and Jeremiah was not glamorous—it was weighty, costly, and often resisted. Ezekiel was appointed as a watchman, charged to warn the rebellious whether they listened or not. Jeremiah was instructed to deliver messages of submission to Babylon, a stance that invited hostility. Even symbolic acts—Ezekiel lying on his side to represent Israel’s and Judah’s sins, Jeremiah sending a scroll of Babylon’s doom—were divine assignments meant to visually and powerfully convey God’s truth.
These accounts remind us that obedience to God may demand hard, uncomfortable, or misunderstood tasks. God’s messengers were not to edit His words or soften His warnings. They were called to stand firm in truth, regardless of opposition, trusting God to vindicate them in His time. Faithfulness is not measured by applause but by complete obedience to God’s voice.
If God gives you a hard assignment today, remember: you are not called to please people but to honor Him. Speak truth in love, endure with courage, and rest in the assurance that His word never returns void.
Prayer: Lord, strengthen my heart to obey You even when the assignment is hard or unpopular. Help me speak Your truth without fear and live in complete surrender to Your will. May I trust Your timing and purpose, knowing that my reward is found in pleasing You alone, in Jesus' name,Amen🙏🙏🙏.
