Grace for your spirit I am sending you to them who are stubborn and obstinate children, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.' As for them, whether they listen or not--for they are a rebellious house--they will know that a prophet has been among them. Ezek 2:4-5
Unfortunately, this is the commission for nearly every worker for the Lord. We are sent to people who should listen and obey, but they will not. Often, they pretend to stand up and obey, but inside they are still living the rebellious life. When only the exterior complies, and the heart is still rebellious, sin is the result. A mother was trying to get her little boy to sit down. She yelled at him repeated and finally whipped him into compliance. As he sat beside her, the little boy was heard to say, "I may be sitting on the outside, but I'm still standing on the inside." What are we doing on the inside? Is it for us, or for our Master?
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
