\u2018I sat among them for seven days.\u2019 Ezekiel 3:15 NIV<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever seen the reality TV show Undercover Boss<\/i>? In it, the company owner goes undercover disguised as a regular staff member, and works alongside the other employees. He or she gets to experience their daily pressures and problems, becomes familiar with their strengths and weaknesses, and finds out what is and isn\u2019t working. Some of the discoveries are truly eye-opening, and lead to major changes that end up making the organisation a more efficient, more profitable, and a more enjoyable place for everyone to work. <\/p>\n

A good definition of the word understand<\/i> is \u2018to stand in another person\u2019s shoes\u2019. That\u2019s what happened to the prophet Ezekiel. He writes: \u2018Then I came to the colony of Judean exiles\u2026 I was overwhelmed and sat among them for seven days. After seven days the Lord gave me a message. He said, \u201cSon of man, I have appointed you as a watchman.\u201d\u2019<\/i> (Ezekiel 3:15\u201317 NLT) When did God give Ezekiel a message for others? After he\u2019d spent seven days and nights sitting with people who had lost everything, people in deep despair and in need of answers. <\/p>\n

Referring to Jesus, the Bible tells us, \u2018This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for He faced all of the same testings we do.\u2019<\/i> (Hebrews 4:15 NLT) Your most effective ministry to others can come out of some of the experiences you\u2019re going through right now, especially the painful ones you\u2019d like to escape and don\u2019t even feel comfortable talking about. The truth is, your greatest mess can turn out to be your greatest message. So let God work on you until He gets you to where you need to be. <\/p>\n
