These scriptures show us just a little of how great God's love, is. God, sent a prophet to people who were against Him, so they would have a chance to change. God, didn't want to destroy these people, but if they continued in rebellion, He would have no choice. He sent the prophet, so that they may have a chance to repent and follow Him. Whether or not they listened to His Words, they heard His Words and they had a chance. He reached out His hand and all they had to do, is take it. Sometimes, we lose sight of this: God, truly does give everyone a chance. When we have a relative or friend that dies, we may worry since they weren't following the Lord. However, who is to say they didn't have the chance? They either take the chance or they don't. Some people, take it on their death beds and others are still too stubborn. I don't believe one person's life passes by, without them having a chance to follow Jesus and be saved. Think about this if you've lost someone and didn't know if they got the chance. I have to think about it all the time, with my dad who I lost, in March. Losses are hard, but I believe our God, is faithful and just to give all a chance and it's up to them, from there. My brother definitely had the chance before he died. He had dreams of his own funeral, so he wisened up and followed the Lord. However, I'll never know if my dad took that route or if he was too stubborn. If you're not saved, you could go at anytime and I hope you don't leave your family in doubt, like my dad did me.

These scriptures go on to say, "And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house." These scriptures show us, not to resist the rebellious people, but to be fearless. Some Christians, will resist non-followers and that turns the non-followers away from the Lord, even more. We can not show fear, to the people of the world! God, has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of love and a sound mind.

The scriptures then say, "But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee." Meaning, even though you must not fear that crowd of people and run from them, you must not give into their ways! We sometimes begin to act like people we hang around with, but we must not allow this and we must not turn to their ways. We must keep our minds made that we will follow Jesus! Let's take the time right now, to thank God, for being fair!

Dear Lord, we come to you with thanksgiving and we just thank you, for being fair! We thank you, for giving all a chance. We ask that you'd forgive us of all our sins and we forgive those who've wronged us. We ask that you'd make our minds dead set on following you, where none can sway us. Thank you! In Jesus, name. A-men!
