Ezekiel 31-34

It took me about 21 minutes to read this passage.  More bad news.  I wonder if Ezekiel ever prayed that God would bring him good news to deliver to his people?  If he did then God answered his prayer in 33:11.  I find no delight from the death of the wicked…”  God is not like us.  Too often we wish and hope that the wicked would die in their wickedness.  But God loves them too much to allow that to happen.  He sends Good News to people everywhere regardless of their obedience to him.   God made us to obey him as the source of true life.  In 33:16 Ezekiel records those words from God; obey me and live.
