THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL
Ezekiel was a man who chose to obey God without question. Beginning with his call as a prophet and commissioning as a “watchman for the house of Israel, ” Ezekiel immediately began to preach and demonstrate God’s truth, as he predicted Jerusalem’s approaching siege and destruction.
God may not ask you to do anything quite so dramatic or difficult; as He asked of Ezekiel; but if He did, would you do it? Could you lie on your side for 390 days and only eat an eight-ounce meal a day that was cooked over manure, save your head, or not show any sorrow at the loss of a very close dear one? Could you do it?
Could you lie on your side for 390 days and only eat an eight-ounce meal a day that was cooked over manure? Shave all your off body? What if you were told you could not show any sorrow at the loss of your husband or wife? Could you do it? Ezekiel was a man who chose to obey God without question. Beginning with his call as a prophet and commissioning as a “watchman for the house of Israel”.
God may not ask you to do anything quite so dramatic or difficult; as He asked of Ezekiel; but if He did, would you do it?
Ezekiel was a man who chose to obey God without question. How about you?
