Day 312 Bible Reading: Ezekiel 18-19, Hebrews 9:1-10, Psalm 106:32-48 and Proverbs 27:10 
In his vision, Ezekiel reveals to us in these verses, and we see a dramatic, sad event. After a terrible slaughter of those who embraced idolatry, God's glory leaves the temple. First moving from the holy of holies, then to the entrance and eventually up above the cherubim and the spectacular whirling wheels. Imagine a world without God's glory. Imagine the hopelessness, anarchy, chaos, and be thankful. He is still and always patient and not willing that any should perish. Lord takes no pleasure in punishment, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live! (Ezekiel 18:31-2). God sent his only son; Jesus brings the Kingdom of Heaven to earth. Repent, and the Kingdom of God is near! (Mark2:15)
"Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry. For their sake he remembered his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love." – Psalm 106:44-45 (English Standard Version)
"Father God, make me especially conscious of your presence today. Thank you for your patience and compassion for me. Even though I've failed you so often, still you continue to admonish, correct, discipline, and encourage me. Help me to see again your glory and your awesome holiness today. In Jesus' name, Amen."
