Ezekiel 4
I’m laying down.
This is not me falling face down in worship.
No, this is me laying down for others.
430 days is a long time.
Many have speculated why this long. The captivity of Israel and Judah lasted 430 years.
It feels like a lifetime, laying down here. But I know why I am doing this.
I am carrying the people’s sin upon me.
It’s like I’m a priest, “Give me their sin O Lord, Give them Your righteousness.”
Maybe I should do this for a lifetime.
Lay my life down for others. Feeling their pain and bearing their sin. All my life, from now on.
It is better than cooking food over the dung of men, anything’s better than that!
