Alongside the assurances of the impending doom of Jerusalem come assurances of God’s redemption. The oracles of judgement may take up the greater space here, but the promises of deliverance are the expressed goal in all that God is doing at this time. There are times when we may feel that God should give up on us. But he never gives up on his people. If we are willing to get up and turn back to him, he is willing to receive us. He wants the best for you, and he will never tire of holding that opportunity out to you. And no matter what you do God will keep working to restore you. He will never write you off. Not only is he always eager to give us another chance to walk with him but he enables us to do so. He reaches right into our soul, and he cleanses us from all those contaminating desires that clog our hearts and turn them to stone. He restores our spiritual sensitivity and allows us to sense him again and to know his will from within. God will do this for us, we just have to respond to his outstretched arm and give ourselves over to him. No matter how far away from God we might feel, the journey home is not long. In fact, it is no distance at all. All we need to do is turn around and we will find God there, because wherever we go, he comes after us. So, if you ever find yourself wondering where God is, just turn around and you will find him right there.
Seek God and let your desires lock onto him.
Read Ezekiel 11:16-25
