Ezekiel 20:6
6 On that day I swore to them that I would bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the most glorious of all lands.
God promised to take His people to the most glorious of all lands. Travel is difficult now. It’s hard to look longingly at photos of amazing landscapes or read reviews of paradise-on-earth beach resorts and know they’re probably out of reach this year. It would be bliss to get away from where we are, to walk in a stress-free, beauty-filled somewhere instead of being stuck inside for even longer.
Take that little version of longing and let it inform the longing we should feel for the “most glorious of all lands” God is preparing for us. It will be a place flowing not only with provision but with pleasure. You don’t need milk or honey to survive, but are you really living without them? God has promised to take you to pleasure, to Himself, will you walk away from your sin and into His paradise?
Prayer prompt: Lord, fill me so full of longing for You and Your blessings that sin loses all allure.
