Ezekiel 22: Be the One

What happens when God searches for someone to make a righteous stand and finds no one? In this powerful exploration of Ezekiel 22, we dive deep into one of the most challenging divine laments in scripture: "I looked for someone who might rebuild the wall of righteousness... I searched for someone to stand in the gap in the wall so I wouldn't have to destroy the land, but I found no one."

The chapter reveals a Jerusalem that had fallen into profound moral decay. From bloodshed and idolatry to mistreatment of the vulnerable and corruption among leadership, God details a society where wickedness had become the norm. Religious authorities who should have maintained sacred boundaries "make no distinction between what is holy and what is not," while leaders who should protect instead "devour innocent people, seizing treasures and extorting wealth."

But beyond the sobering assessment lies a powerful invitation for believers today. The challenge isn't simply to avoid wrongdoing, but to actively become the person who represents God's heart when no one else will. As Pastor Brandon puts it: "Let that never be said of us... that God wanted to do something special in that moment, but there wasn't anybody that he could trust."

This episode offers a practical framework for living as "the one" God can depend on. It's about maintaining awareness that God is present in every conversation, ready to use us through kind words, timely prayers, or courageous stands. It's approaching each day with the commitment to be spiritually available in environments where divine influence is desperately needed.
