Shan Dai Advocacy

Ezekiel

If someone who loved you said something for your good over 60 times would it affect your thoughts and alter the way you lived? In Ezekiel we continually read, “Then they will know that I am the LORD.” God is the Lord and we are not. He is in charge. Ezekiel ministered during the Babylonian exile. His job was to let the Israelites know that the suffering they experienced was brought upon them due to their choice of sin. God’s judgment allowed them to experience in suffering that He is Lord. Talking to a rebellious Israel, the Sovereign Lord said: “I will show how holy my great name is—the name you brought shame among the nations. And when I reveal my holiness through you before their very eyes…then the nations will know that I am the LORD” (Ezekiel 36:23). God, we pray for the Shan Dai nation to know that You are Lord. God, You choose to relay this good news through people, so today we pray for the people that are living holy lives before the Shan Dai nation. In the many challenges and setbacks that are faced in a day, may the knowledge that You are Lord bring about hope. We pray for Your love and purity to fill the lives of Christian Dai leaders. Great comfort can come when we embrace You, the Sovereign Lord. In Your holiness please do whatever is needed—including judgment and suffering—for us and for all people to know that You indeed are Lord. Reveal Your holiness to the Shan Dai.
