Ezekiel 17:24
And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord; I bring low the high tree, and make high the low tree, dry up the green tree, and make the dry tree flourish. I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it.”

To really understand this verse you have to read the previous 4-5 chapters. God has just told Ezekiel to speak to the false prophets who are prophesying hope to the nation of Israel and told them that God sees their sin and God WILL punish their sin. God gives them rebuke after rebuke in this section. However, in these last couple of verses God offers them hope and reminds them that He alone is God and He alone can bring down or build up. He alone punishes and He alone restores. God can reverse the positions of anyone He chooses. He can take a green tree and dry. He can make the high tree, low. He can make the dry tree flourish. He is God and He CAN DO IT! God is the God who turns things upside down. God changes things. God brings the dead to life. God changes things. God brings the high and lofty, low! God changes things. We don't need to worry about circumstances and positions and attitudes because God changes things. God has a plan and He will DO IT!! You can't stop God's plan and the lofty authority can't stop it. God has a plan and the lowly and disappointed are part of it. God doesn't take the swift and the mighty. God takes the lowly and the meek and makes them great. God is not afraid of the powerful. God can diminish the powerful with a word. God can take the weak and make them powerful. God is the God who Changes Things!!
