When we look at the way things were in Ezekiel's day, we can see that in many ways it is the same today. There is more oppression and hurt today, then there ever was before. A lot of people only care about themselves and what they can get. A lot of times they don't even care who they hurt while they are trying to get it.
God is just as concerned about the people today as He was in Ezekiel's day. He is still looking for people who are willing to stand in the gap for this land of ours.
May we always be willing to pray for others and if the need is there, go a step further and help in any way we can. We must be people who are willing to be used by God in this day of so much uncertainly.
