Eze 1:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3 : Ezekiel himself was a captive, living among other exiles by the river. He shared their pain and understood their struggles. God’s messages often come best from people who know what suffering feels like. Even though Ezekiel was far from Israel, God’s Spirit was not limited by distance. The vision shows that God can speak to His people anywhere, and that He cares for them wherever they are scattered (Psalm 137:1-2; 2 Timothy 2:9 ; 2 Corinthians 1:5 ).
