Scripture: “Then the nations that are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and replanted that which was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do it.” – Ezekiel 36:36 (ESV)
Devotional Message
In a world full of uncertainties, God’s Word remains unshakable. Many times, we go through seasons where life feels broken, dreams seem lost, and prayers appear unanswered. However, Ezekiel 36:36 reassures us that when God speaks, it is forever settled—His promises are sure, and His plans will come to pass.
Israel had experienced devastation because of their disobedience, but God declared restoration. He promised to rebuild their ruined places and make them flourish again. The same God who spoke then is speaking to us today: “I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do it.” This means that no matter how delayed, difficult, or impossible things may seem, God’s Word concerning your life must be fulfilled.
How Do We Stand on God’s Settled Word?
- Believe in His Promises – The Bible is full of God’s promises for our lives. What He has said will surely come to pass (Numbers 23:19).
- Declare His Word Over Your Life – Speak life into your situations. God's spoken word carries the power to transform circumstances (Isaiah 55:11).
- Stay Faithful in the Waiting – Even when things seem unchanged, trust in His divine timing (Habakkuk 2:3).
- Live in Obedience – God's promises are often tied to our obedience. When we align with His will, we position ourselves for His blessings (Deuteronomy 28:1-2).
Prayer
Father, thank You that Your Word is forever settled in heaven. I trust that everything You have spoken concerning my life will come to pass. Strengthen my faith, and help me to walk in obedience as I wait for the fulfillment of Your promises. Amen.
