🍞 Ezekiel 32

Ezekiel 32 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, “Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,” Ezekiel 32 opens with these words: “In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, “Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,” The line to keep is Ezekiel 32:8: “I will make all the bright lights of the sky dark over you, and set darkness on your land,” says the Lord Yahweh.” Carry the word “bright” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Ezekiel 32:8: “I will make all the bright lights of the sky dark over you, and set darkness on your land,” says the Lord Yahweh.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Ezekiel 32? Then try this: Read “I will make all the bright lights of the sky dark over you, and set darkness on your land,” says the Lord…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
