Sunday, November 4, Ezekiel 17 - 18, Hebrews 1 - 2

Do you rejoice over small but vital victories that are like a bird escaping from a snare?

In Ezekiel 22:30 God says, "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 I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one." What could someone have done to be the one who would "stand in the gap"?
