One of the first things to capture my attention in reading chapters 1 - 3 of Ezekiel yesterday was that each time God's glory was present, Ezekiel fell on his face, and in each instance it was the Spirit of God that lifted him up.
The second thing that leaped out at me was God's clear directive was: when God told Ezekiel what to speak, he was to speak it whether people heard it or not. Heard as in listened. It is a directive that segues directly to us as His followers today. We must speak the Truth - from a heart filled with love and the pure intention of turning people's hearts toward God - but even if they don't hear, when God nudges us to speak, we must speak. The clear message in Ezekiel is that God will also provide the words to say.
Lord, make me quick to obey!
