Ezekiel 22,23

by Paul Ice

Stand in the breach | Ezekiel 22:30

Ezekiel 22:30
 And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.

Israel was far from God. The leaders were abusing their God-given power. They were religious, but using their religious activities to fulfill their lust.  The people turned their God-given desire to worship towards worthless idols. God’s chosen people were making choices against Him. And God looked for someone…anyone…to build up the spiritual walls and stand in the gap. But He found no one.  This is definitely a sad statement.

God is still looking for people to build spiritual walls and stand in the breach. He is looking for moms more concerned about their daughter’s walk with God than their circle of popular friends. He is looking for fathers more concerned about their son’s heart than their batting averages. He is looking for leaders living out the love of the gospel in spite of the cultural pressure.

So, here’s the question. As God looks for someone to build up the wall and stand before Him in the breach, who will He find? Here’s the bigger question—will He find you?
