Moreover He said to me: “Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears.“
Ezekiel 3:10
God commissioned the prophet Ezekiel to deliver His messages to the rebellious Israelites. Today’s verse underscores the weighty responsibility placed on Ezekiel to faithfully receive and proclaim God’s words. It emphasizes the importance of internalizing God’s message before sharing it with others.
We are challenged as well to consider the weight of responsibility in receiving and sharing God’s truth. It reminds us that before we can effectively convey God’s message to others, we must first receive His words into our hearts. This process begins with having a passion and conviction for God’s Word.
In order to be intentional about receiving God’s words into our hearts, we must spend time in prayer, meditating and studying the Scriptures, as well as seeking to understand God’s message personally. Let God’s word penetrate your heart first and watch what happens to those around you.
Pray
Lord, help me to receive Your words into my heart. Grant me the wisdom to understand and apply Your truth in my life today. Let my ears be attentive to Your voice and my heart be shaped by Your Word. Use me as a vessel to share Your message with passion and conviction. In Jesus’ name, amen.
