Ezekiel chapter 21 verse six

as for you son of man grown

with breaking heart and bitter grief grown before their eyes.

This is God telling Ezekiel toan with a breaking heart and bitter grief before people, before God's people.

And just to go on, the next verse says, when they say to you, why do you grow and you shall say,

because of the news that it's coming, every heart will melt and all hands will be feeble,

every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water.

Behold it's coming, and it will be fulfilled, declares the Lord God.

Basically, judgment is coming.

So God is telling Ezekiel groan before them like see this is a time for groaning

that there is reason for broken hearts and bitter grief because if people do not turn and trust in God, repent of sin,

then their destruction, their judgment is coming.

So I'm reading this and I'm just driven to ask

in my own life and in your life.

Like are you and I ever groaning with breaking hearts over people in our lives, friends, coworkers, neighbors, family members, who are separated from God by their sin right now and have not turned and trusted

in Jesus.

There should be times when we are groaning with breaking hearts and bitter grief,

certainly before God, like calling out, crying out for their salvation.

And then to an extent before our friends and neighbors and coworkers and family members to say to them with broken hearts,

please turn and trust in Jesus.

So do we weep and grieve and groan to use this word from Ezekiel chapter 21 verse 6 for the lost around
