STill an awesome beginning to Ezekiel's ministry! Eat the scroll! You are what you eat! The scroll tasted as sweet as honey in his mouth and it became a part of him so that he was equipped to handle any situation with God at his side. God was constantly berrating the Israelites and at the same time gearing up Ezekiel for his task. By sending him to his own people, God gave him a chance to "preach and teach and make disciples in Judea and Samaria" rather than the "outermost parts of the world". God is so disgusted with the Israelites that He feels that they are harder to reach for Ezekiel than if he were placed in foreign country given their hardness and being obstinate.
I love the imagery of the Spirit lifting him up (12) and carrying him to the place where he would start his ministry. There he assumed and became one with God in spirit and purpose as the hand of the Lord was upon him. Let the games begin!!!
Glad I was able to speak to GG and clarify his FB post. Hopefully he passed his oral and can put that behind him for the rest of the task at hand. Prayers for him from me daily and non-ceasing. Prayers also for David and Irene as they carry on!
Praise for today: I praise God for His gift of life in our Lord Jesus!
