Day 247 of Heart Dive 365. I'm your Bible study friend Kanoi. Welcome to the Heart Dive podcast.

Well, happy Hump Day friends, if you're studying with us in real time. We are in the middle of the

week, in the middle of chaos for some of us. Unfortunately, my trip to Atlanta had to get canceled

because of some things that are going on with my kids' schedules, and I was super bummed out.

But God knows it's all working out. Holly and I are still going to do our live on Saturday.

We're just going to be doing it via Zoom, still talking about all of the things that we had planned

to talk about. So we are excited to

join you with that. And hey, you know what? As Jesus did not say, blessed are the flexible,

for they will not get bent out of shape, right? I mean, if you are not flexible, if you cannot

roll with the punches that life brings, you're going to always be stressed out and full of anxiety.

So we ain't going to do that here,

not today. So today we are beginning a brand new section. This is the prophecy that Ezekiel received

for the surrounding nations around Judah. And so, you know, God's judgment typically would

begin at his house or with his people, but it wasn't limited to that. God is sovereign

over all nations. And so we'll see that today before Ezekiel is able to bring that hopeful and

encouraging message back to the people of Israel. Again, I believe that is in chapter 33. But before we

get started, if you are a Bible study, Fred, if you could please hit the roll call button, a thumbs up button, letting us know that you're here.

If you're new to this Bible study, let us know in the comments where you're watching from, how you found us, and also make sure to check out the show notes or the description box for more information about this ministry and what we do here. And also, you can get a copy of my notes of my Bible if that is helpful for you to follow along as well.

Don't forget about our drop-in prayer room.

That happens every Monday at 11 a.m. If you need to be prayed over, it's just literally you drop in, you say I need prayer, they pray over you, and you bounce. It's great. Wonderful volunteers who are using their gifts to be able to serve other people. I'm just so grateful that we are

able to do this together. So with all of that said, we're going to go ahead and jump on into God's words. So let's start with prayer. Heavenly Father, we love you. We thank you for the middle of the week. Lord, sometimes it's in the middle that seems the hardest, but you're right there with us in the thick of it. And so we thank you for being with us, never leaving us. Please forgive us for our sins,

Lord. hardest, but you're right there with us in the thick of it. And so we thank you for being with us,
