In Ezekial 6, Ezekial is sharing with the Israelites words from the Sovereign Lord.

God tells Israel that he bring war upon them so that their pagan shrines will be smashed and their altars and places of worship for their idols will all be demolished.  Their people will be killed and laid out in front of their pagan gods who can do nothing to help them.  All of their religious objects will be destroyed and they will live in desolation.

Then they will know that he alone is  the LORD.

God had asked them over and over to get rid of their idols and to turn away from their pagan gods so they could worship him and him only.  They didn’t do it, so God took it all away amidst a lot of pain and sorrow.

What kind of idols do we have in our lives that God is asking us to turn away from?  What things distract us from our relationship with God and God’s purpose for us?  What are our priorities?  Where is God on that list?

What’s going on in our lives right now?  Is God trying to get our attention?

If God is not at the top of our list, today might be a great day for us to get our priorities straight…..before God has to do something drastic to reorganize our priorities for us.

He has done it before………………….
