Ezekiel: God who travels Chapter 12

 The Lord's Sabbath day 

Scanning Ezekiel 20, God recalls the past. This is God giving Israel a review of the previous acts of God that by His mighty hand, he saved Israel from slavery and brought them out of Egypt. God promised and searched as these exact lines goes " I had searched out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the most beautiful of all lands." (verse 6) and then if you would read further, the words coming from God flows like a river which a man can use as a mirror to reflect if God is still happy or not at all, as God continued to state this 2 heavy words God so hates: idolatry & rebellion.

I believe this is God ranting and venting out through Ezekiel's voice not because God is complaining but because God is pointing out the main clue of understanding the acts of idolatry and rebellion. It is never new to know that God is a jealous God. It is stated in the bible that whenever man equates God to an idol or even devotes his time to that idol more than he devotes himself to God, God is affected so much that it moves Him to punish His very own children. 

In fact, God is so jealous that He was pointing out the "Sabbath day" & where did this start again? It started at the beginning of this world. It started ever since God created the universe. Realize how old this reminder are?

A Sabbath day. 

What is really is this all about? 

Why would God always ask man for a sabbath day?

Why would this be the VERY sign between God and his true children to keep and dedicate it to God?

The Sabbath word is as old as the creation story which means "to rest." God is so angry when man does not rest? Really?😑

In my heart, I am so much delighted to find out what God is ranting about. And are we going to wrestle more when God says: Man you rest as I rest too.

Yeah, I find myself, I tire God all day. I ask a lot from God all day. Why would I not give God a rest too, on its Sabbath day, on its 7th day of the week for God to rest as I rest my concerns. Why would I not give God the peace like the peace God is providing me all throughout the 6 working days?

I hope you got my point. 

This ...Sabbath day is the Lord's rest day.😊
