Devotional: A Place for Everyone

Ezekiel 48

​Have you ever house-hunted? Depending on the market, you may have enjoyed easy pickings or struggled to find what met your needs in a price you could afford. In the new kingdom, you won’t have that problem. ​

God ensures that every member of His kingdom has a home. He knows how much land to appoint to each tribe of Israel. Not a Jew? No problem. You can simply ask to join. Find a place, settle in, and get your inheritance (Ezekiel 47:22-23). But, won’t the land fill up? Nope. God already knows how many people will desire to dwell in Israel, will want that close relationship with Him. That is the delight of God’s foreknowledge: He knows ahead of time what choices we will make, allowing Him to provide for your needs before you are even born! So, don’t worry about the details. If you want to live forever with God, if you want to have a house from which you can see His light spilling out from His throne, God has you covered.
