In Ezekiel 33:11 the prophet is instructed to bring the following word to God’s people:

Say to them, “As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?

This wonderful verse challenges us to turn to God and forsake our sin. Even though sin may sometimes seem attractive in the short term it always ultimately leads to death. Why would we choose death instead of life? It’s crazy to do that yet sadly we often do.

God takes no pleasure in our death He would rather we turned and lived. Let us then give Him pleasure by turning back to Him!

Prayer ” Dear Lord, please give us the grace to turn from our wicked ways and truly return to you and live. Amen”
