1-minute read Monday’s Verse, 3/17/25
“You will know that I am the Lord, when I deal with you for my name’s sake and not according to your evil ways and your corrupt practices, you people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.’” Ezekiel 20:44 NIV
Comments: As I read through the book of Ezekiel, I noticed that the prophecies frequently said that God would deal with the people “for my name’s sake” and not according to what they have done. Pastor David Jeremiah explains:
“When God says that He deals with Israel for my name’s sake, He means that He interacts with the people on the basis of who He is – a holy, righteous, sovereign, patient, gracious, wise, and omnipotent God – not on the basis of who they are or according to their evil ways or corrupt practices. God shows us grace and showers us with His mercy because of His character, not because of our behavior. It is because of His unchanging character that we can place our trust in Him.” (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

Great insights from Pastor David. Also from the 23rd Psalm, one translation says that He leads us in paths of righteousness, for the love of His name.

Thank you, Cindy. In HIS name~ because of who he is, not because of what we’ve done. I always enjoy David Jeremiah’s services, books, and recently, a wonderful interview with Sheila Walsh. I’m so thankful for God’s amazing grace and sovereignty!
I’m praying for you always sweet friend. God bless you and your family (and Henry too). 💚🙏🏻🐾♥️

I am always so blessed by your messages, dear friend. One time, just by “chance”, I heard Dr. Jeremiah on the radio. He was teaching about Joseph. I was going through a very difficult time, and his messages encouraged me so much. That’s when I first “met” him. God sends people like him and like you to encourage us at just the right time! God bless you and Finn, today! 🙏🤗🐾💕
