In Ezekiel chapter 4&5,we read how the Lord was to lay siege to the tribes of Israelites and Judah because of their iniquity.also we read how the Lord was planning to limit what they ate and drunk so that they may waste away because of their iniquities.The Lord continues to speak out the destruction that will befall the children of Israelites and Judah for their disobedience and the abomination that will befall them.
The Lord was angry with the choosen generation because they defiled His sanctuary,destruction by famine,pest,sword and them been scattered to different nations was to befall them.The Lord wanted the other nations to see the fury He had towards Israelites.
As a parent we always want the best for our kids and that why we correct them to mould their character and enable them to grow in the best way.The same can be said about our Lord to us Christians.
As Christians do we understand that when the Lord correct us even though how hard it seems,it is because He loves us.we have to understand that trials and tribulations befalls us to draw us closer to our father.
If the Lord didn’t care He would have left us to our ways like how He left the gentiles.So let’s learn to view every chastening from the Lord as indicator of his love for us.
