Ezekiel 1 & 2
Inspired thots
This is not an easy book to read; only God can give understanding by His mercy and grace.
Lord, what is it for me from this Book of Ezekiel?
A great and awesome vision; a terrible message of judgment and compassion. God brings forth a prophet to forewarn His people. Will they listen?
the Vision
The vision is very explicit yet it is difficult to envisage. It is explained as "...the form of.." and "...with likeness of..." But the great brightness is a clear indication of the impending presence of the Lord. No satisfactory words could describe a heavenly revelation. The Lord is SO MAJESTIC it is hard to describe Him in mere words.
the Lesson
God is merciful and loving; He prepares His people for His coming & judgment. He gives them time to repent and sends prophets to warn them beforehand. He knows us through and through. He is compassionate to forewarn us.
Prophets are humans too; they can be discouraged by people who do not share their views or accept their messages from God. However, it is wiser to obey and rely on God than man.
Difficult visions may be given; ask God for boldness and wisdom to deliver well.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
