IN EXILE
Today's reading: Ezekiel 7-12

"...the people still left in Jerusalem are talking about their relatives in exile, saying, They are far away from the Lord..." Ezekiel 11:15 NLT

Whether they are living under the same roof as you...

Or will sit beside you at the next family gathering...

Or you will see at the family reunion held once a year...

Or you only keep in contact with via the internet...

Regardless of whether they live in the same town, on the same block or in another state...

We all have folks we love, family and not, who are in exile.

They are still apart from God.

They are still being held captive by their sins and their choices of lifestyle.

There is a great wall of division between their lives and true love.

They have been taken captive and held hostage by satan's lies, deceits and tricks.

They are far away from the Lord.

For now.
