I think that Ezekiel was very afraid with the vision. He saw the monsters and certainly Ezekiel didn’t understand the vision that God given to him. But, in the middle of the vision God asked him to send His message to the Israelites.

The content of the message were: God felt very biter and disappointed to Israelites. But why God want the Israelites know that He was very biter to the Israelites? Without any warn God can just punish them or even kill them if God want to.

That is what I don’t understand, may be God want they know so they can repent or may be God want they know to give them second chance.

May be some day I will get message that I don’t like that fill with lamentations, mourning, warning, etc, it’s is may be I will got a second chance to make the things right. Who knows.

And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.  And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein; And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

Jeremiah wrote so many sad things in his lamentation. He was sad about the Israelites, Judah, Amon, Moab, and nations around. He was sad because the nations that were warned by God were not repent and God punished them.

There is something special in his lamentation. He wrote a piece of praise to God there. I am not sure why he wrote it and insert it in his lamentations. I think may be he knew and felt that God was really a very nice God.

Sometime when it seems no good thing in my life and the environment around, there are still have a way to praise God. I can write poem, sing, or even a little prayer that contain only gratitude words to God.

That kind of action is not only make God happy, but it also make me to have a positive though and it is good for me.

They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
