Ezekiel 14:6

“Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, Repent and turn away from your idols and turn your faces away from all your abominations.'” (NASB)

STRONGS HEBREW/GREEK ORIGINS

“Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, Repent (shuwb: turn, turn back, turn away, restore, render, recompense; to show a turning away) and turn away ("shuwb" again) from your idols and turn your faces (paniym: before, presence, sight, countenance) away from all your abominations (tow`ebah: abominable things, disgusting things, abomination, unclean, mixed, wickedness) .'”

SUMMARY

Tell My people that I say to them, "Turn away from all that you put before Me and turn your gaze away from all of your wicked and disgusting practices."

MEDITATION

It doesn't take anything more than reading a few minutes of news to see that abominations and idols abound in this age. But this morning I reiterate to you what the LORD spoke to Ezekiel, "Turn away from your idols and abominations, people of God!" It is time for those who profess with their mouths to know the LORD to begin to live accordingly. Today, will you live the Word? Will you keep the laws of the LORD?
