Abide Together: Reflections on Ezekiel 4

In Ezekiel 4, the LORD has Ezekiel do certain things physically to illustrate his judgment on Israel and Judah, as well as their inability to do anything about it. Ezekiel obeys the LORD even though it is very difficult. Once again Ezekiel is an example of the priority of obedience to the LORD over comforts in this life. LORD, help me obey You even when it is uncomfortable and even painful.
