A LONELY WAY...NOAH DANIEL JOB

NOAH, JOB, AND DANIEL
EZEKIEL 14:20
THOUGH NOAH, DANIEL, AND JOB, WERE IN IT, AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD GOD, THEY SHALL DELIVER NEITHER SON NOR DAUGHTER; THEY SHALL BUT DELIVER THEIR OWN SOULS BY THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
 
THEY WOULD ONLY SAVE THERE OWNSELVES. WHY? HOW DID THEY DIFFER FROM THE OTHER PROPHETS? EVEN DAVID WASN’T NAMED AMONG THESE THREE. WHY? BECAUSE OF THE TIME THEY WERE IN AND THE SURROUNDINGS. THESE THREE MEN SUFFERED A LONELY WAY. THEY DIDN’T HAVE FRIENDS TO DEPEND ON. THERE WASN’T A PROPHET IN THE LAND TO GIVE THEM A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT OR TO INQUIRE ON THEIR BEHALF. THE PEOPLE WERE ABSOLUTELY WICKED AND DESERVING OF UTTER DESTRUCTION. THEY OVERCAME TIMES OF TROUBLE AND CONFUSION BY TRUSTING IN THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD. WHEN IT WASN’T POPULAR, WHEN IT SEEMED LIKE THE LORD HAD LEFT. THEY WEREABSOLUTELY HUMILIATED FOR THEIR OBEDIENCE. THERE WAS NO ONE WHO COULD REMOTELY UNDERSTAND. THEY WERE FACED WITH THEIR OWN SANITY. LORD YOU REALLY CHOSE ME FOR TROUBLE? AFFLICTION? SOUNDS OF MOCKERY, NAY SAYERS…THEY HEARD…EVEN JEALOUSY, YET THEY WERE FAVORED TO WRITE HISTORY. WHAT A LOVE STORY! WHAT A SONG! WHAT A PRIVILEGE! IT HAD TO BE WRITTEN FOR YOUR NAME SAKE…FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST!
