Ezekiel 16:14-15

14 And your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, because the splendor I had given you made your beauty perfect, declares the Sovereign LORD.

15 " 'But you trusted in your beauty and used your fame to become a prostitute. You lavished your favors on anyone who passed by and your beauty became his.


God has made us beatiful, both inside and out. He has taken His beauty and instilled it in us. Through His grace we are made whole and healed of our iniquitys. He takes away every scar every pain we had, cleans us, and dresses us in His glory.

What do we do with that? We trust not in the God who healed us and made us beautiful. We trust in works that He did for us. We trust in our strength and us the healing and beauty He instilled in us for our own sinful perpuses.

Later, when we realize that we get hurt when we don't trust in God, we come back to Him crying and praying He will forgive us. He does with out condition. He gently rebukes us and instructs us in the way we should go.

Psalm 18:2

2The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;

Psalm 18:30

30As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the LORD is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.


May this verse be true of us today.

Psalm 20:7

7Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;
But we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
