God Accepting More Responsibility

Ezekiel 6.10 (actually all of chapter 6) is another example of God taking responsibility for evil. He brought judgment, destruction, and exile on his own people because they turned away from him to worship other idols. He states three times in this chapter that he brings all of the difficulties so that his people would know that he is the Lord.

One of the reasons that we might find ourselves in difficulty is if we stray from the Lord. He brings us back to himself by reason of putting us in places that cause us to cry out to him. For some of us it takes a little prodding, for others it takes a lot. God will do whatever it takes.
