Ezekiel 1

“Ezekiel and the God Who Strengthens” – Ezekiel’s first chapter presents us with a very high view of God. This chapter has left many readers puzzled, confused, and bewildered, but by the end of the chapter, Ezekiel saw things more clearly than ever before. As an Israelite living in exile, he was reminded that God’s sovereign plans cannot be thwarted. Comforted by this vision which reveals so many of God’s glorious attributes, his outlook on his life and the circumstances he faced as an exile was changed forever. This incredible vision didn’t only benefit Ezekiel by giving him a higher view of God, however; when we consider the significance of what he saw in his vision, it will strengthen our faith and confidence in God as well. This chapter reminds us that God is always in control, even when the world appears to be spiraling into chaos. music: “Take Me Deeper” by the Ken Ferguson Band
