A Hard Commission

Ezekiel 2:6  
"And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be 
afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with 
thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not 
afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their 
looks, though they be a rebellious house" 

      The people were hardhearted and their words were harsh, for they were like poison from scorpions. They were a rebellious people. But the prophet was commissioned by God, and therefore went forward on his divine mission undeterred by their opposition. Under such circumstances we must be sure of a "Thus saith the Lord." But no man can stand against the continual opposition of his fellow man, unless his strength is renewed, as Ezekiel’s was, by eating that which God gives. "Open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee," (Ezek. 2:8).   
      Let us specially consider that our words may be sharper than any two-edged sword. Nothing makes us so strong as feeding upon God's Holy Word and especially on the Word within the words. We must eat the flesh and drink in the life of the Son of man, Then and only then can we deal rightly with the needs of mankind.
Amen!
