Ezekiel 44:15-16 KJV
But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord God:
[16] They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
Though we read from many passages how idolatrous and rebellious Israel and her priests have been, Ezekiel opens our eyes today to yet a group that never got themselves defiled, the sons of Zadok.
They never conformed to the sayings of the time; _”oh, but everyone is doing it..”_ neither did they forget what they had been taught by their predecessors. They just stuck to what they knew and never jumped unto the bandwagon.
I guess in their quest to remain loyal, they might have thought at a point that God had even forgotten about them and counted them with the lot… but hey, our God rewards Loyalty. (See v16)
Remain loyal to Him irrespective of what you think and see society is becoming. Be under no pressure at all to succumb to all the nonsense. At the end of time, the reward of the sons of Zadok, will be yours too, up there in His Holy Sanctuary.
Have a blessed Friday.
