Today's Reading: Ezekiel 11:1-25
Ezekiel's ministry took place while he was an exile living in Babylon under the rule of King Nebuchadnezzar. Much of his prophecy is focused on the idea that God’s people had experienced God's judgment—seen in their Babylonian exile—because they had worshiped idols and turned away from God. But at the end of this chapter God gives Ezekiel the first glimpse of His plan for future salvation and restoration. God Himself enables the people to respond to Him by replacing their rebellious hearts of stone with hearts of flesh.
As we've already seen in this section of our reading plan, God is not finished with Israel yet. And He's not done with us either, no matter how badly we may rebelled against Him in the past. It's never to late to confess and repent and return to the Lord.
