Ezekiel 18:32 (New Living Translation)
32 I don’t want you to die, says the Sovereign Lord. Turn back and live!
God is speaking to the people through the prophet Ezekiel. The people have a choice of life or death. God doesn’t want his created and cherished people to die. God doesn’t want me to die forever, either.
God encourages the people to turn 180 degrees. Change. Change direction in life and live. This is so simple. Go this way or go that way. Die or live. How can we manage to make this so complex?
“I want to veer a bit now and then and…” and “Things aren’t just black and white (this way or that way). Real life is shades of gray and lots of things and, and, and, and.”
“Why does God have to make it so plain? Why does God have to spell it out so simply? Can’t God see my point of view and understand me better?”
Sorry folks. Sorry to me. God is God and I am not. God sets the choices and God tells me what God wants. God wants me to avoid death and live.
