60IN60 Day 52 - Wed Oct 25

It's Day 52 and we're in Ezekiel 2.

Father, what do You want to teach us today through Your Word? 

Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 7 - Our job is to convey the message. Whether they listen or not is their responsibility.

Help:
- Verse 6 - "scorpions" - The idea here is something like "If you're traveling somewhere to deliver My message and you encounter scorpions, don't be afraid."
- Verses 8-10 - "scroll" - Presumably because this was a vision/dream, this is merely symbolic. It is possible that Ezekiel actually eats something.

If you want to read the chapter online, here's a link.

Your Questions and Comments:

- "Proverbs 31 - When you read this chapter describing a godly woman, it's kind of exhausting!  Lol. Do you think all of these verses apply to what one woman should be?  Or do these verses point out all of the different ways a woman can be godly?" - Two things. First, I don't think is a list that every woman is supposed to exactly emulate. I think it's a picture of what one virtuous woman looks like and there are things to learn from it. But compared, for instance, to the list of the fruit of the Spirit, which we should all have, I don't think every woman has to be exactly like that. Second, I also think it's worth noting that the passage is not what a lot of people might expect from an ancient passage about a virtuous woman. For instance, this woman is quite the businesswoman (see, for instance, verses 16-17).
