Ezekiel 2
The last line of Ezekiel 1 indicates that Ezekiel fell at the feet of the Lord when He saw His glory.
The Lord says to him, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.” Awestruck by His glory, Ezekiel falls to the ground in the presence of the glory of God. What a privilege! But, it is one that no unsanctified human can bear. God help me to seek and find Your glory! Finding Ezekiel in his helpless position gives him a command with a promise, “Stand on your feet!” How can one stand in the presence of sheer Majesty? But what the Lord commands, He provides. The Holy Spirit entered Ezekiel and stood him up on his feet. It was the Spirit who set him upright when he had been given the command to stand. It was the Sprit who gave him the ability to hear and to listen. It was the Spirit who gave him the ability to go as he was sent to do the really weird commands given in his lifetime. Why could Ezekiel do what he did? It was because of the glory and the Spirit. Lord let me see Your glory, as did Ezekiel, and fill me with Your Spirit as you did Ezekiel. Let me obey Your commands that Your glory may increase! Indeed we serve a glorious King! Speak His glory to someone today!
