Ezekiel 28:26 They will live there in safety and will
build houses and plant vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict
punishment on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord their
God.
There are so many examples in Ezekiel of what God will do to
make sure the Israelites, or in some cases, their enemies, will know that HE is
the Lord. In this verse, God says that
the way the Israelites will know He is the Lord their God is when they have
calm, secure, safe lifestyles while their enemies go through hard times. There have been many times I have looked at
my easy, safe, secure life and wondered at the blessing of God on me. I cannot always explain why my life is so
much easier than many others, but maybe some of that is in some way related to
my being reminded that He is the Lord my God. Then, too, even when things are not going well for me I still see God's presence in my life and circumstances and that is the contrast between me and an unbeliever who has no peace. Either way, God uses my situation to remind me that He is the Lord my God.
