As someone who micromanages, change in circumstances can be difficult; but despite however big these hindrances may be, I'm always reminded that my God is sovereign and greater than all these things. In this chapter, we read that David is so overjoyed, simply because he knows that God is Lord over all. That is why he has the confidence to keep his eyes on Him, and therefore never have to worry.
Ezekiel 24
On the same note, we read in this chapter that Ezekiel experiences the loss of a loved one. Despite this tragedy, Ezekiel doesn't fail to keep his eyes on the Lord and His sovereignty. Ezekiel's love for God and His glory is shown
through his obedience to instruction; that through this loss, God may be glorified in front of all to see.
Now that I think of it, the death of Ezekiel's wife was not even close to being considered a loss. For in exchange, there was an opportunity for God to be glorified through Ezekiel. This can easily be a direct parallel to God's sacrifice ("loss") of his Son, and His glory demonstrated through that.
Lord, let us rejoice and be glad that you have made a way for us; that you have clearly shown us the path of life. Let us always remain humbled by this. Thank you for your sovereignty and constant provision over us. Let us never lose sight of you and your amazing love for us.
