As I was reading through my Bible today, there was something that caught my attention…
As you read through Ezekiel 24: 15 – 27, you see that God spoke to Ezekiel and told him that he would lose his wife and this was so that Ezekiel would feel pain and would be able to speak that pain to the Israelites…
It reminded me of when I read through Hosea… in Hosea 1:2, God tells Hosea to marry an adulterous woman so he would feel the pain God felt towards His people (the Israelites) and that he (Hosea) would be able to speak to His (God’s) people.
I see that in these moments God put these men through these trials so that He could speak to these men and through them.
2 Cor. 1: 3 – 7
“(God) comforts us in our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the same comfort we ourselves have received from God.” 2 Cor. 1: 4
