Sit in the Dirt

I AM Jesus. Sit in the dirt, so I can set you in palaces. The Holy Spirit inspired Ezekiel to write, "'Thus says the Lord God: ...On the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed in water to cleanse you... No eye pitied you, to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you; but you were thrown out into the open field... And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’... I made you thrive like a plant in the field; and you grew, matured, and became very beautiful." (Ezekiel 16:1-14.)

Follow Our example, for We are willing to find the lost, rejected, and dying who are thrown in the dirt. I was willing to wash the dirt off My disciples feet. (John 13:5.) In order to be great in the kingdom of heaven, you must be humble. (Matthew 18:4.) If you humble yourselves in Our sight, We will lift you up. (James 4:10.) As you sit in the dirt, and go to the pigpens, you will find My prodigals. (Luke 15:14-15.)


Ezekiel 16:1-14
1 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,  2 “Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,  3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: “Your birth and your nativity are from the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.  4 As for your nativity, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed in water to cleanse you; you were not rubbed with salt nor wrapped in swaddling cloths.  5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you; but you were thrown out into the open field, when you yourself were loathed on the day you were born.

6 “And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ Yes, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’  7 I made you thrive like a plant in the field; and you grew, matured, and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed, your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.

8 “When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine,” says the Lord God.

9 “Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil.  10 I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk.  11 I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your wrists, and a chain on your neck.  12 And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.  13 Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and succeeded to royalty.  14 Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord God.

John 13:5
5 After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

Matthew 18:4
4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

James 4:10
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

Luke 15:14-15
14 But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.  15 Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.  16 And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.
