Today's reading will cover Jeremiah Chapter 34:8-22 and Ezekiel Chapter 1. Today we will read about the people in Judah making a covenant with God to release their fellow Hebrew people that were being held as slaves and then breaking that covenant, changing their minds, and forcing the people back to being slaves. We will also read about an amazing image that Ezekiel saw about God in Heaven. God is described as having the appearance of a man, shining with glory, and having brightness surrounding Him, like a rainbow! We will read in Revelation chapters 4:2-3 and chapter 10:1 that these accounts of God are consistent with what Ezekiel saw. In our discussion for daily application we will talk about the fact that God appeared to be of human appearance and remember that in Genesis God tells us that He created us in HIS image. We are not created to look like aliens, nor are we descended from aliens. We will read Leviticus Chapter 25 about God's commandments pertaining to the Year of Jubilee and how people who sold themselves to be bond servants were meant to be treated as hired workers. Even then, their time as a bond servant was to be fulfilled after 7 years as well as in the year of Jubilee. In Leviticus 25 God is adamant that His people are HIS servants and are not to be taken as slaves and when people are working as hired workers they are not to be treated harshly. We will talk about the importance of keeping our promises to God as well as making sure we are treating others fairly, rather than harshly, especially those within the body of believers, in order to honor God's commands to us. We are to remember that everything we have belongs to GOD, including us!
