Lenten Reflection - February 9, 2008

“Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land not leaving any behind.” - Ezekiel 39:21-29

Reflection by Nancy Wooddell

In this prophecy from Ezekiel, the Lord has promised that Israel will be the avenue by which He manifests Himself to the world. Through the Jews He promises to show His face and pour out the Holy Spirit.

What an awesome God that keeps His promises! Israel was reunited. We saw His face in the face of Jesus. On the day of Pentecost, God passed His Holy Spirit to live in those Jews who believed, and continues to live in those who believe today.

There is such peace in knowing that God will keep His promises to me, too. Praise God!
