#soap # Ezekiel 11 ## Title: The LORD Will Empower You ## Scripture: (Ezekiel 11:5) Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon me and said to me, “Say: ‘This is what the Lord says: This is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; I know what goes through your minds. (NET) ## Observation: There is a need for Ezekiel to stand up and speak for the LORD. Think about that. That’s a massive responsibility. How is he supposed to speak for the LORD? How is he supposed to stand up to these people and tell them they are wrong? How should he defy an entire nation? The answer is that he isn’t. God had no intention of Ezekiel doing this alone. God told him in the beginning that He would empower Ezekiel to do everything he was called to do. Here we see God doing just that. He is still with Ezekiel and empowering him to do everything he has been called to do. Just like the LORD did this for Ezekiel, He does the same for us. ## Application: Rest in knowing that God will empower you for every task that He puts in your path. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for giving us everything we need to do everything You have called us to do.
