Behind Closed Doors

"He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and in visions of God he took me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes to jealousy stood." Ezekiel 8:3

It seems to me that God was anxious to show Ezekiel the detestable things going on behind closed doors in the house of Israel. He that has an ear, let him hear!

The elders of the house of Israel were performing outrageous acts in the darkness. Ezekiel had to dig into the wall to view the elders in their hideaway. I suppose that the elders felt that, in this area, no one, not even God, could see the images they had portrayed on the walls. They went to the point of saying,"The Lord does not see us; the Lord has forsaken the land."

You may feel that the Lord has forsaken you, but it does not mean He is not watching over you. It's not God that forsakes us---we forsake God. God is the only constant in our daily life, and we are the ones that are the variables. Set your eyes upon Him and let Him give you stability. Don't hide out in the darkness of sin, but let His light invade it!
