Learning. God is so patient.
Been in Ezek. 40:4. All of Ezekiel, but I'm sitting on that verse.
In this book, an angel took Ezekiel in the spirit, to view the temple. The angel measured it with a reed and told all the measurements and configurations to Ezekiel. Then told Ezekiel to tell all to the house of Israel!
Now if that had been me, I would have said, "Ju ... just a minute, while I go get my notebook. I'll never remember all that!"
Uh-huh.
Verse 4. "And the man said to me, son of man, look with your eyes, and hear with your ears and set your heart and mind on all that I will show you, for you are brought here that I may show them to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel."
In other words - focus!! Set your heart.
Ezekiel wasn't an angel. He wasn't a robot. A droid. (DROID!) He was a human, like you and me.
He did just that. He remembered all and wrote it down for us.
God is challenging me.
I went to a writer's conference recently and attended a class taught by Angela Hunt. She demonstrated to us something similar. Her Memory Palace. She had us choose a category - plants. We spoke out about 18-20 different species and she envisioned her neighborhood, placing each plant there. She was able to recite back to us each plant kind without peeking! Amazing!
I believe she was using Ezek. 40:4. And I can too!
I'm gonna work up to my grocery list!
