Ezekiel heard and saw many profound things, but he was primarily a voice to the nation of Israel. God gave him warnings for the people. It was his responsibility to give the warnings but up to the people to heed them.

As we read or hear the admonitions of scripture, we can either obey or resist. So often we choose to go our own way and miss God’s promptings, but there is grace to recover yourself and make things right again. Confess your sin, receive His cleansing, and go on in faith. God’s grace and power is greater than any shortcoming we have.

As we heed God’s counsel for living, we are a good example for those younger who are beginning their earthly journey. We can maybe spare them from some pitfalls that have caused us to stumble.
