Scripture lesson: Ezekiel 18:20-23 God prefers repentance
Time to reflect: Does God WANT to destroy the wicked? Not at all. It grieves God. If the wicked turn away from their wickedness, the slate is wiped clean and they start over.
Moving through the day: WWorking with teenagers, as I do, has taught me the importance of allowing them to start over. They may make mistakes or go through a tough period, but they will not always be that way – if I will let them “reboot,” “”take it from the top,” start over. Are there people in your life that need to be given a chance to start over?
The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him.
"But if a wicked man turns away from all the sins he has committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die. None of the offenses he has committed will be remembered against him. Because of the righteous things he has done, he will live. Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?
