Re: Verse reading – Ezekiel 1:28-3:4 (day five)
God begins to call/commission Ezekiel into service and ministry. In chapter 1, He “reveals” to Ezekiel His character and nature.
Windstorm (1:4) – Power – God is never helpless.
Throne (1:26) Sovereignty – God always is in control (even in difficult circumstances).
Fire (1:27) Holiness- God judges and punishes sin and disobedience.
Rainbow (1:28) Kindness and Mercy. Even in judgment, God remembers mercy.
Scripture is full of pictures, accounts, and experiences that, if we look and listen, can help us discover and understand more about the character and nature of God. Often times, God will “reveal” parts of His nature and character that will be of great value and insight to the heart of each believer in the midst of circumstances and preceding the future. Looking back, can you see how each one of these pictures Ezekiel sees, encourages and prepares him for the task that lies ahead?
May we be willing to ask God do the same in our hearts. (Scripture, Sermons, Prayer, Worship, Service, and Fellowship) What are you learning about the Lord?
