Today I read Ezekiel 32:7-34:4 and 1 Peter 5:8-2 Peter 1:14. My favorite verses are:
Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
The words spoken by God to Israel are the same to each of us today—God does not WANT to punish us for wickedness; He wants us to turn away from wickedness to salvation and eternal life with Him. Why would you choose death when life is offered? Peter gives some insight into the answer. Satan is ever on the move looking for a chance to devour unsuspecting sinners. God warns us to be vigilant—to be on guard against the adversary, but too many fail to watch. They continue in careless living, wickedness, disobedience to God; and they die in their sins, devoured by Satan and condemned to an eternity with him. We have a choice! Choose life.
