After a long time of procrastination, I finally made a dent in my last book of the Bible - Ezekiel. On the way to Melbourne last Thursday, I had my Bible in my carry-on and I thought it would be a good time to do some reading - it's not like there was somewhere I could go or something I could do - I was just stuck in a seat in a plane for a few hours.
So with the help of my good friend, Alexander Scourby, I started reading, and reading, and reading. I got through half the book! Which was 24 chapters!
It turned out that Ezekiel wasn't as boring as I had remembered it to be, and in fact, there was one chapter that really spoke to my heart. Chapter 16.
Have a read of it yourself here.
The all-too-common story of God finding Israel, caring for her, making her beautiful and respected, and loving her deeply, only to be forgotten, cheated on, humiliated by and despised in return, is told by the prophet, Ezekiel. What a heart-breaking story. It really gives us a true understanding of how bad our repeated trespasses are against our God.
It was a real blessing to read through that big chunk and hopefully, I can finish off the last chunk really soon too.
