WELCOME to DCLM Devotional 02/06/22

TEXT: EZEKIEL 16:35-43
KEY VERSE: “So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry” (EZEKIEL 16:42).

In the “Mask Behind the Mask”, biographer Peter Evans says that actor Peter Sellers played so many roles that he sometimes was not sure of his own identity. Approached once by a fan who asked him, “Are you Peter Sellers?” Sellers answered briskly, “Not today” and walked on.

In the text for today, Israel played harlotry with strange nations by forming trade and other forms of alliance that were contrary to God’s plan with them. Israel would then be subjected to the same judgment as adulterous wives. God would unleash just judgment upon them, until the full measure of His judgment was complete.

It would be completed only when they had completely given up on idolatrous religion. Although God declared judgment against idolatrous Israel, His mercy was manifested when He declared, “I will be quiet, and will be no more angry”.

Our God is merciful and compassionate. Although Rahab was a woman that made a living through immoral living, she desired a new life under the God of Israel. By faith, she entered into a covenant of deliverance with the Israeli spies and consequently, she and her household were saved. This singular act of faith secured her a new identity.

You can wear a new identity today by giving up on your sins and obtaining the favour of God. Regardless of your past and present condition, if you repent of your sins and have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, God will rewrite your story and grant you a new identity. It is up to you to decide.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you encounter Christ, expect a change!
