#soap # Ezekiel 02 ## Title: Your Job Is Faithfulness ## Scripture: (Ezekiel 2:5) “And as for them, whether they listen or not—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.” (NET) ## Observation: Ezekiel is commissioned by God to a hard field. There will be many rocks in the way. There will be a lot of hard plowing, and the ground will be hard as stone. However, the goal for Ezekiel is not to control the harvest. He is not in charge of how the soil responds. His job is faithfulness. It doesn’t matter how long it takes. He cannot control most of what he will be surrounded by. His goal is to trust the Lord and work in the field. The rest is up to the LORD. This is the same for us. There are so many things in life we cannot control. Our job is not to control outcomes or coerce people to do it our way. Our job is to be faithful where God has placed us. He takes care of the rest. ## Application: Take a sigh of relief. Success is not your primary concern. Your job is faithfulness and to do the best you can. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for taking care of the impossible stuff.
