An Upward Look
A Daily Devotional Observation from God's Word
September 15
SCRIPTURE VERSE FOR TODAYAnd I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. (Ezekiel 39:21)
God will get His glory! After Israel had forsaken the Lord, He turned to the other nations who were heathens, and they honored and glorified Him. While Jesus was ministering upon this earth His own nation, the Jews, did not receive Him. At His mockery of a trial, they stood before Him and demanded of Pilate that He be crucified. At that time He turned to the whole world and declared that as many as received Him to them he gave the power to become the sons of God. If America does not honor the Lord, He will turn his face away, and his blessings will cease. I want to honor the Lord, and I want His blessings, don’t you? ~~
