Ezekiel 46
gives more regulations for the temple. It
contains directions for offering, direction for which gates to come into and
out of, as well as directions for inheritances.
All it all, it is a very straightforward chapter.
What is
there to pull out of this chapter besides that the Lord enjoys bringing order
to a chaotic world? Notice that there is
still something special about the Sabbath.
Six days the east gate s shut.
Only on the Sabbath is the east gate to be opened. The temple is open 7 days. Parts of the temple are only opened for 1
day, though.
Our relationship
with God is ongoing, certainly. Every
day is a day where we can be with God.
Every day is an opportunity to receive God’s blessing and return out
gratitude to Him. Every day is an
opportunity to help other people see God’s hand at work.
Yet, there
are some days that are special. There
are days where God isn’t just the focus, He is the object of the day. God, and our relationship with Him, should
always be present in our lives and our driving purpose. Many days the challenge is bringing the world
and the realm of God together. On the
Sabbath, though, we put aside the world and remember how special God and our
relationship with Him is.
