Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD. — Ezekiel 38:23

When God’s people were physically and spiritually in bad shape, he promised judgment, both on them and on those who hurt them. He also tells us why. He will show them how great and holy he is so that they will know that he is YAHWEH, the God of “his people” and of all nations. I’d love it if God showed us how great and holy he is right now, wouldn’t you? It would be great if God was praised for who he is and what he has done. May that time come soon.

Prayer

Father, as your flawed, mortal child, I do fear that you will show yourself to the world in a bold way. We humans are weak and dying compared to your blazing glory. But I’m sure of my relationship with you through Jesus, and dear Father, I want you to be respected and honored in my life. I’m sick of hearing your name and glory thrown around without reason. Raise yourself up before the world! Show everyone your holy majesty so they can see that you are the only true God. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen
