When I read the book of Ezekiel in the Holy Bible, there were many time that God asked Ezekiel to tell His messages to the nations around of Israel and Judah but not to the Israel and Judah. And at the end of the messages, God told Ezekiel that He wanted the nations around the Israel and Judah know that He is God.
Israel and Judah was in trouble, there were being captive by the Babylonians. God let them to be captive because God want them to learn something.
What I learn is when I am in trouble (like the Israelites and Judah), sure that God want me to learn something, but it also can make my environment around to learn that God is their God. So, I call it double impact of God.
Actually I am in trouble now. My laundry business still not earns enough profit to pay my daughter’s school fees and other stuff in my family. I wish that I can still pay my daughter’s school fees, buy the pregnancy medicine for my wife and etc. from this laundry business or from other business. I don’t know how this can make other people know that my God is also their God but I learn to be creative, to be humble, to trust more in God, and so many things in this troubled time.
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD. Ezek 30:26 (KJV)
