Death Is Not the End of the Story

Read Ezekiel 24:15-18

Today’s Truth

We could spend a whole lot of time unpacking the verses I just read just to make sure it’s clear what I just read. God just told Ezekiel that the delight of his eyes, his wife, was about to die and he was not to mourn in all the traditional, expected, natural, even desirous ways to mourn, natural ways to mourn.

Discussion Question

What hard things has God called you to do? Are you willing to do it? Explain.
What does it mean to you to put into practice, “your will be done?”
Sometimes it’s hard to accept and understand what God is doing. When you don’t understand, what do you say to God?

Life Application

It’s not easy to do whatever God calls you to do. All throughout scripture, we see God calling His people to do hard things, to endure hard things, and to trust Him and proclaim His word in the middle of it.

About the Author

Chuck Adair

If you ask Chuck his favorite thing in life to do, he would tell you it is the teaching and preaching of the scriptures and to call all people to engage in the great adventure of abiding with Christ. He desires to connect people with the richness, adventure, and fullness of life that comes through Christ alone and to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved. Chuck is married to his best friend Kristin and has two adult children, Taylor and Linley. Kris and Chuck believe the quality of their marriage rises and falls, not on circumstances or feelings, but based on their daily abiding with Jesus (Jn 15.5).
