OUR FATHER IS NOT SILENT AND HIS WORD IS TRUTH

Ezekiel ( x chapter  5 verse 9 ) chapter 6 verse 1 says this;

 The word of the Lord came to me

Psalm chapter 3 verse 4 - 5 says this;

I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain.

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

These two passages from Ezekiel chapter 6 and Psalm chapter 3, show two scenarios in which the word of the Lord is heard.

In Ezekiel's case, the word of the Lord came to him as a prophetic declaration which he recieved with an instruction to prophecy against the kingdom of Israel.

In the case of Psalm 3, the Psalmist cried out to the Lord for help and the Lord responded and that response assured him that the Lord would sustain him so that when he went to sleep, he would rise up again. 

In fact, this Psalm could be read as a record of the inner monologue of Jesus when He was dying on the cross and it reveals the immense pressure that Jesus was under because he was surrounded by a myriad of spiritual enemies who were assailing Him.

The Lord Jesus counted on the response from God and He did rise again and was exalted.

The word of the Lord is true and can be relied upon whether the word is of  judgement or of assurance and blessing.

Amen.
