God give Ezekiel a very clear call. One not predicated by it's outcome or it's result. Ezekiel is told to speak truth into the stubborn Israelite community. He knew from the beginning that this was an obstinate people. He was called to speak the truth anyway. Even though we would seemingly be ineffective. Only if I had the bold fiath and clarity of Ezekiel.

Ezekiel 1:1, Ezekiel 1:10-11 and Ezekiel 2:1-7
