Are You Thankful? | Week 4 | A Grander Vision

Read Ezekiel 22:30

Week Four | A Grander Vision

I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so that I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one (Ezekiel 22:30).

 “Someone” (Hebrew) אישׁ – ‘eesh’ means a human, but in this context, it infers a certain person, a constant or a consistent person, a steward, a champion, a worthy person.

The Hebrew word “gap” פּרץ – ‘perets’ means space and emptiness between two places. God says I looked for someone to fill the gap to minimise the space, and there was no one to be found, not one man or woman who would stand in the gap.

A gap, by definition, represents a place of weakness a place of vulnerability and danger. So today, I am asking you to be the “eesh” of our text to be that certain person, that worthy person that champion that man or woman who recognises gap situations and trusts God to use them to make a difference even if it is the smallest difference.

So the question is, are you that person? Because, in reality, God is still looking for somebody to stand in the gap.
