Scripture: “Therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will rescue my people from your hands. And then you will know that I am the Lord.” – Ezekiel 13:23 (NIV)
Reflection:
Ezekiel 13 is a strong rebuke against false prophets—those who mislead God’s people with lies instead of His truth. In the closing verse of this chapter, God declares a powerful promise: "I will rescue my people from your hands." This assurance reminds us that no deception, oppression, or bondage is too great for God to overcome.
Many times in life, we may find ourselves surrounded by voices that distort God’s truth. These could be influences in society, false teachings, or even personal doubts that lead us away from God’s will. But just as He promised to deliver Israel from the deception of false prophets, He promises to set us free from anything that seeks to separate us from Him.
God is a rescuer. He is not blind to injustice, nor does He allow deception to reign forever. His truth prevails, and He works actively to bring His people back to Himself. Sometimes, His deliverance may come through exposing lies, strengthening our discernment, or leading us through trials that refine our faith.
Application:
- Trust in God’s Sovereignty – No matter what deception or difficulty you face, believe that God is in control and will deliver you.
- Seek His Truth Daily – Make it a habit to study God’s Word and pray for discernment, so you can recognize His voice amid the noise of the world.
- Walk in Freedom – If God has delivered you from past struggles or lies, don’t return to them. Instead, share your testimony to help others find freedom in Christ.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for being my rescuer. In a world filled with deception, help me to remain anchored in Your truth. Open my eyes to recognize what is false and give me the wisdom to follow Your path. Deliver me from anything that seeks to separate me from You, and help me walk in the freedom You have given me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
