Ezekiel 47:11 But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.

Do you get discouraged that the world continues to be ‘so worldly’?

God did not say He would come to earth and clean everyone so they can all go to heaven no matter what! He came to try and save the world by bringing life into the world.

You can pour clean water into a dirty place and it may even cleanse the area in which you pour it, but it has to be worked in order for the cleansing of the whole area to happen…

Worked by the people there, receiving the living water and using it to help spread the cleanliness.

Ezekiel 47:10 Fishermen will stand along the shore; from En Gedi to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets. The fish will be of many kinds—like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea.

Ever wondered why Jesus chose the river He did to find the fishermen He did? How about looking back into the Old Testament where God made His promises through the prophets!

Jesus’ ministry was within the bounds of the places laid down in the Old testament by the prophets. Those were God’s people telling the locals about what was to come in the future.

God is the one who goes forward in the beginning and prepares a place for us to work in. God chooses what goes on and fills the jobs with people who are willing to listen to Him.

Exodus 3:1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

Jesus did not rebel against God to choose the people He chose but rather continues on in His Father’s footsteps in His choices.

God chose people like this as well; Moses looked after Jethro’s flock (his father-in-law) and this position seems to have had a few people of great importance come from, such as David!

God does not look at what you have achieved, but rather what He can see your heart can achieve for Him. Trust Him, He knows!
