Lectionary: Series B (55)
  1. These statutes are a description of what the child of God looks like—how they walk, talk, teach, live, and have their being!
  2. Hypocrisy continues to rear its head as the formalistic worship and worshippers neglect their LORD and their neighbor.

  7. The LORD promises He Himself will gather up the remnants and they will prosper under His shepherding.
  8. In spite of the many issues of unfaithfulness, the LORD still refers to them as, “My people Israel,” pointing to the Covenantal promise.
  9. Ezekiel is not called/sent out to be “successful” in his prophetic ministry—he is sent out to be faithful!
  10. In the overall context of Lamentations this text stands out as a breath of fresh air, or perhaps more accurately, words of relief after so much dismal lamenting!
  11. The fact that the LORD answers Job is a great gift of love and mercy, but He does not provide the answers Job seeks.
  12. God's new planting will keep the ancient Messianic covenantal promise alive and bring it to fruition.
