"Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir; prophesy against it..." Ezekiel 35:2 One thing that stood out to me while reading Ezekiel 35 was that God didn't just speak to Ezekiel… He told Ezekiel to speak to the mountain. Mount Seir was known as a rugged, rough place. The very name is believed to carry the idea of something shaggy, uneven, difficult, and hard to travel through. Isn't that what some seasons of life feel like? A rugged marriage. A rugged financial situation.

As I was reading Ezekiel 34, I noticed something that kept appearing throughout the chapter. God was making declarations… "I will make them a blessing." "I will send down showers in season." "I will provide for them." "I am with them." "You are My sheep." "I am your God." The more I read, the more I realized that every promise God made was revealing something about who He is… and because of who He is, it changes who I am. Because He is Provider, I do not have to live in lack.

"I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing." — Ezekiel 34:26 There was a time when I thought being blessed simply meant receiving. More provision. More opportunities. More favor. But the older I get, the more I realize that God's blessings were never meant to stop with me. In Ezekiel 34:26, God says that He will make His people a blessing. Not just blessed… but a blessing. That changes
