Ezk. 23:35
"Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have forgotten and cast me behind your back, you yourself must bear the consequences of your lewdness and whoring."
Jerusalem and Samaria, described as two whoring women, had played their hands beyond redemption. God had no recourse but to let the bear the consequences of their actions. Israel had become dross, dross only good for the furnace. God's wrath would gather Israel in the midst of the furnace of Jerusalem, and He Himself would put them in this furnace. The outcome: God's wrath would consume them. How horrible! God sought for a man to build up the wall and stand in the breach, but there was none. What a desolation when there is no one to stand for God, no one to do His will.
Father,
Keep me ever building Your wall and standing in Your breach. Help me to be faithful to You and Your holiness.
In Jesus name,
Amen
