Ezekiel 3:14
"So the spirit lifted me up, and took me
away, and I went in bitterness"
Ezekiel received a vision of the Majesty and wonder of God's Glory, showing that his God was more magnificent than anything to be found in heathenism, and impressing on his mind the greatness of the unseen God of Israel. Ezekiel was given a task that he did not want, He was placed as a watchmen unto the house of Israel. Ezekiel said, "So the Spirit lifited me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit.
We like Ezekiel see the Majesty and wonders of God's Glory, but we see it daily in His Holy Word and God Himself in our lives each and every day. We sometimes take God's Love and Christ' death on The Cross for granted. How do we do that and not realize it? The same way as Ezekiel did before he realized his task.
As servants to our Lord, He will often assign us a task, that we don't want to perform for some reason or another. We too become somewhat bitter in the heat of our spirit. When we do this of course we are showing bitterness toward God for assigning us a task, that we don't want any part of. Then we show bitterness toward others, because they may or are the reason God assigned the task.
When it is all said and done, what we have hurt most of all is our union with God. It may have been just a little or it could have been a lot. But it only takes a little for evil to sneak in and try to destroy God's work. If you choose not to do a task that God has assigned you then you know you have failed Him. God will seek someone else and assign them the task that you didn't want. I have learned that if God wants you to do a certain task for Him, you will do that task whether it is now or later it will be done!
