“but I found none.”~Ezk. 22:30
In the book of Ezekiel, there’s a story of how God looked for just one man that He might spare His judgment upon His people. We are told He sought him among the priests, the princes, the prophets ,and finally, the people. Then falls four of the saddest words recorded in the scriptures from God’s lips, “but I found none.”
One man, one woman, one youth, one preacher, one church, one family—this has always been God’s way. You’ll be hard pressed to find God with the majority, or going along with popular opinion. It seems, He likes the “underdog.” His only condition for entering that cold, lifeless church at Laodicea was, “If any man will open the door.” (Rev.3)
The great problem of today is, no one wants to go it alone! It is amazing what one single individual can accomplish who has only God on their side. Abraham, Elijah, Ruth, Moses, Noah, Esther, Paul, and Job, prove this out. One man and God can make a difference; Jesus did.
I am only one, but I am one
I can't do everything, but I can do something;
And that I can do, I ought to do
And what I ought to do by the grace of God I shall do.
