Ezekiel 8 – the ghost of Christmas… Israel?

After Ezekiel’s year-plus of lying on his side, God shows him another vision.  In this vision, he is taken around Jerusalem and shown detestable things that Israelites are doing.  Each time he is shown something, God tells him that he will see something even more detestable.  At the end of the journey, God tells Ezekiel that He will not listen to them and will deal with them in anger.

This is just another reminder of how seriously God views sin.  Each of the detestable things these people are doing are focused around worshipping false gods or idols.  God has no patience with people that worship things other than Him.  In this day and age, it is too easy to slip into idol worship – putting something before God.

God, please don’t help me fall into this trap.  Help me to put you first today and every day.  Amen.
