Ezekiel 40:1-42:20, KV 40:2
“In visions of God he took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose south side were some buildings that looked like a city.”

Daily Bread
1) Living according to God’s design.
In Ezekiel’s vision, God revealed a detailed blueprint of the temple through a heavenly guide. Every measurement, room, and design—from the gates to the inner sanctuary—was specific and important. This careful design reminds us that God cares about the details in our lives. Just as He had a perfect plan for the temple, He has a plan for us when we follow His guidance. The Bible says, “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans” (Proverbs 16:3). When we trust God with our plans and decisions, He will guide us toward what is best. We can rest knowing that God is leading us in His perfect direction. Let’s plan our lives according to God’s design, living not for ourselves, but to honor and glorify Him in everything we do.

2) Holiness and obedience.
In Ezekiel's vision, the temple was designed for God's glory and as a special place of worship. The priests had to follow specific roles and duties to honor God. Just like the priests had to follow God's instructions carefully, we are also called to live in obedience to God's word. Worship isn’t only something we do on Sundays—it’s a lifestyle that shows our love for God every day. It means making sure our hearts are in the right place when we come to God, not just going through the motions. Are you living with sincerity in your relationship with God? Are you making sure your heart is aligned with His Word, so that your life can reflect His holiness and purity? Remember, God wants our worship to come from a heart that truly loves Him, not just from our outward actions.

Prayer: Lord, help me to live according to Your perfect design, trusting You with my plans and decisions as I seek to honor and glorify You in everything I do. Teach me to follow You with a pure heart, making sure my life shows love for You. In Jesus' name. Amen.

One Word: Love and obey God with a sincere heart!
