Impossible Mission?
I'm no expert on Ezekiel and it's actually been awhile since I've read the book, but recently I've been reading it slowly. I strikes me odd that God has given Ezekiel this mission to Israel, to warn them of their wickedness and stubbornness. God gives Ezekiel strength and hardness of heart to endure the challenge.
And then God goes into this chapter 3 passage where he tells Ezekiel to be this watchman, to warn the people, and if he did his part he would not be held accountable for their blood. They would die for their own personal sin, but Ezekiel would somehow be held accountable for their blood. What exactly does that mean?
And then to make the matter harder, God tells Ezekiel to shut himself in his house where he can't leave, can't speak and really can't even get up off the floor (chapter 4) for over a year!
How many times does it feel like this that God has given you a passion, a ministry, a job to do, but there are so many road blocks that you wonder whether the mission is true, whether it was meant to be, whether it is possible.
