*04/05/26 Monday Ezekiel 20:41.* _I will accept you as a pleasing aroma when I bring you out from the nations…_ *Context: Ezekiel 20:39–44.* Restored for Worship.
God speaks to a rebellious people who had mixed worship with idolatry. Yet, instead of abandoning them, God promises restoration. The return from exile is not just geographical; it is spiritual. God gathers His people so that they may truly worship Him again.
This passage reminds us that God is not satisfied with divided hearts. Worship cannot coexist with idols whether those idols are power, success, or self. Yet grace prevails: God restores us not because we are perfect, but because He is faithful. We are restored for a purpose: to become a “pleasing aroma” before God. Our lives, our worship, obedience, and witness should reflect God's holiness. Examine your heart. What competes with God? Return to Him fully. He restores you so that your life becomes true worship. God does not restore us to comfort, but to consecrated worship.
