Temptation doesn’t start with action—it begins with a glance, a thought, an image that captures the heart. Ezekiel 23:14 shows us the danger of dwelling on sin in the mind. When we entertain temptation, we invite destruction. But we can choose to reject it and pursue holiness instead.
-
Hebrews 10:16 – Marked by God. Sealed with His Spirit. We are no longer our own—we belong to the King. His law is written on our hearts, His name on our minds, and His authority in our hands. This is covenant. This is calling. This is holiness to the Lord.
-
God doesn’t want to lose anyone—so He draws us into the wilderness to plead with us face to face. But the time for pleading will end. What will we choose before the judgment comes?
-
God doesn’t want to lose anyone. In Hebrews 9, we see the veil torn and access granted through Jesus. In Ezekiel 18, God pleads for repentance. He made the way—now it’s our choice.
-
In Hebrews 8, we find a better covenant, sealed by Jesus—the perfect Bridegroom. Even if we’ve betrayed Him like Israel in Ezekiel 16, we can return. He’s not just waiting—He’s welcoming.
-
God found us broken and made us beautiful. But how often do we take His gifts and run after other lovers? Ezekiel 16 exposes the heartbreak of spiritual adultery and the mercy of a God who still calls us back.
-
God calls out rebellion masked by religious appearance in Ezekiel 12. Do you have eyes to see and ears to hear, or are you holding up a crumbling facade? This 5-minute devotional challenges us to surrender the idols in our hearts and walk in true unity with Him.
-
Hebrews 6 teaches us spiritual maturity isn’t found in rituals—it’s found in relationship. We grow when we move beyond tradition and into intimacy with Jesus. He’s not after empty motions, but fertile hearts where His promises can take root, grow, and bear fruit. Trade religion for real connection.
-
You are not forgotten or overlooked—God has marked you as His own. Just like the man in linen in Ezekiel, He sees those who grieve over sin and seals them for His purpose. You carry the imprint of Heaven—the King’s own seal—marked for mercy, identity, and divine protection.
-
Rejecting God isn’t just dangerous—it’s devastating. Ezekiel paints a horrifying picture of the consequences of rebellion, but Hebrews reminds us there’s still time to enter His rest. God’s mercy awaits, but the choice is ours. Don’t wait. Surrender now. Enter His rest while the door is open.
