#soap # Ezekiel 03 ## Title: God Will Give You What You Need ## Scripture: (Ezekiel 3:8-9) “I have made your face adamant to match their faces, and your forehead hard to match their foreheads. I have made your forehead harder than flint—like diamond! Do not fear them or be terrified of the looks they give you, for they are a rebellious house.” (NET) ## Observation: The time of Ezekiel required an extremely unique set of skills for a prophet. He had to be able to speak to a group of people that were going through so much. On one hand they were full of idolatry and possibly saw Yahweh as one of many gods they now worshiped. Also, they were being conquered by outside forces. Then, they were being scattered. God needed a prophet who would get their attention, who could be hard, and could also be full of hope. This seems like an impossibility. However, God raises up the right person, at the right time, to do the right job. This brings us hope because we can rest assured that God will give us all the tools we need to do all He has called us to do. There has never been anyone like you. He has given you the unique set of gifts you have to bring Him glory in a unique way. So shine. ## Application: Find a way to take your unique gifts and glorify God. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for making us all unique so we can uniquely bring You glory.
