After God's extensive case against Israel, God sends Ezekiel to remind the people that they have not been abandoned. God is still with them in their captivity and God will honor the promise to return them to their homeland one day. Even better, God will one day give them a new spirit and a new heart so that they will finally be able to remain in faith and love. That is God's promise to us as well!

For Reflection:

After a centuries-long pattern of unfaithfulness, will the people ever be able to remain in God's love? Yes, but God will have to change them first.

- Have you ever known someone who was able to break free from a long-running addiction or other destructive pattern of behavior or thinking? In the end, what was it that helped them break free?

- What are some of the ways that God has changed you? What is perhaps one way that you are still hoping to be changed by God?
