God reveals Himself through the times and seasons, responding to our circumstances in different ways. The same God who brings peace, love, and comfort is also the same God who may rebuke, correct, and even allow hardships. God uses the vessels that he call and sometimes their words might seem tough, but don’t take offense. It’s only to get your attention and show you the seriousness of the situation (especially to those that are stubborn lol). Remember, God is looking out for you and wants the best for your life. His Word is meant to convict and to challenge because it ultimately brings freedom and life.
God instructed Ezekiel to take in His words, speak only what the Lord commanded, and not to fear the reactions of the people, for they were a rebellious nation. Don’t be the rebellious people. Don’t be stubborn and resistant to God. When we listen and obey, He is ready with love and comfort to guide us through healing. Embrace His correction. Stay aware of the times and seasons. God is always at work.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-7
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
