Ezekiel 47–48; Daniel 1 | Living Water, God’s Order, and Faithful Devotion in Exile

Описание: These chapters bring the book of Ezekiel to its powerful conclusion and introduce the beginning of Daniel’s story. Together, they reveal God’s restoration, His sustaining presence, and the call to remain faithful even in foreign and difficult environments.

They remind us that God restores what was broken, establishes divine order, and honors those who remain devoted to Him under pressure.

Ezekiel 47 – The River of Life and Complete Restoration

Ezekiel sees a river flowing from the temple, bringing life wherever it goes. Dead waters become fresh, barren land becomes fruitful, and healing spreads outward from God’s presence. The chapter also outlines the division of the land among the tribes.

📖 Lesson:
God’s presence brings life, healing, and fruitfulness. When His Spirit flows, even what seemed dead can be restored.

Ezekiel 48 – The Ordered Inheritance and “The Lord Is There”

The final chapter describes the division of the land and the new name of the city: “The Lord Is There.” This powerful ending emphasizes that God’s restored presence is the ultimate blessing.

📖 Lesson:
The greatest promise is not land or prosperity—it is God’s abiding presence. True security comes from knowing that the Lord dwells among His people.

Daniel 1 – Faithfulness in a Foreign Land

As the book of Daniel begins, young captives from Judah are taken to Babylon. Daniel and his friends resolve not to defile themselves with the king’s provisions. God honors their faithfulness with wisdom, strength, and favor.

📖 Lesson:
Faithfulness in small decisions leads to greater spiritual authority. Even in exile or pressure-filled environments, devotion to God brings His favor and wisdom.
