Ezekiel 40

And the man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears, and fix your mind on everything I show you; for you were brought here so that I might show them to you. Declare to the house of Israel everything you see.” v.4

Read chapter 40
Oh that this experience that Ezekiel has could be said and done to me.  To be taken to see the new city and temple that will be in the Kingdom!  He's even taken to see it in the middle of captivity, the same day the city was destroyed.  Oh how on what seems like my hardest day that I could be taken away by the Lord to see something so much greater then my present moment that it would be worth any hardship in this life.  Ezekiel is told to make sure his whole mind, spirit, soul were set on what he was about to see so that he could reveal it to Israel, this was his specific and unique assignment.  Although this doesn't happen to us today, being taken to see heavenly things, we can still look, hear and fix our minds on everything Christ is showing us.  Can you see Him in any part of your day whether through people or creation or circumstance? Are you listening to Him by reading His word or in prayer?  Are you so fixing your mind on all the truth that has been revealed to you?  Are you declaring what you see, hear, know of God to everyone else? 

For all this is why you were brought here, where you are right now, to bring God glory.  How can you understand your present moment of being purposely brought here?
