Eating What God Gives You
吃神赐给你的

Ezekiel 2
以西结书 2章

8 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.
8 人子啊，你要听我对你说的话，不要像那叛逆之家一样叛逆；张开你的口，吃我所赐给你的。

9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
9 我观看，见有一只手向我伸来，手中有一卷书；

10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
10 祂在我面前展开，书卷内外都写着字，上面写着哀歌、悲叹和祸患。

Chapter 3
第3章

Moreover, he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
祂又对我说，人子啊，你要吃你所找到的；吃这书卷，然后去对以色列家说话。

2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
2 于是我张开口，祂使我吃那书卷。

Jeremiah said that Judah would end up in exile and like everything God says, it came true. It now comes to Ezekiel to tell the children of Israel some difficult things. As you read the book of Ezekiel, you find he has to say things that are very unpopular. Ezekiel is here receiving his commission from the Lord. Here is one of the most important things any Christian worker can be told.
耶利米说犹大将要被掳，如同神所说的一切都应验了。现在轮到以西结对以色列的子民说一些艰难的事。当你读以西结书时，你会发现他必须说一些非常不受欢迎的话。以西结在此接受主的委任。这是任何基督徒工作者被告知的最重要的事情之一。

The first thing is to hear what God says to you. Many Christians are so busy talking, they fail to hear God. They are so busy that they block out the words that the Lord wants to speak to them. Literally, the Lord can’t get a word in edgeways.
首先是要听神对你说的话。许多基督徒忙于说话，未能听见神。他们如此忙碌，以至于挡住了主想对他们说的话。字面上，主连一句话都插不进去。

Ezekiel was told to eat what God gave him and it wasn’t good. It was mourning and woe. But Ezekiel obeyed. He digested the word of God that the Lord had given Him. Do we digest and meditate on the precious word of God that has been given us, even the parts that we have to dig down into?
以西结被吩咐吃神赐给他的东西，那并不好吃。是哀歌和祸患。但以西结顺服了。他消化了主赐给他的神的话。我们是否消化并默想赐给我们的宝贵神的话，即使是那些我们必须深入挖掘的部分？

In verse 1 of chapter 3, Ezekiel is told to go and speak to the house of Israel, a daunting task as this people were not going to listen. They were rebellious and wouldn’t hear his words. As servants of God, we are told to hear what God says to us and through his word, eat and inwardly digest it so it becomes part of us. Then we speak out it’s truth both within the church and to a needy world.
在第3章第1节，以西结被吩咐去对以色列家说话，这是一项艰巨的任务，因为这些人不愿听。他们叛逆，不会听他的话。作为神的仆人，我们被吩咐要听神对我们说的话，通过祂的话，吃下并内化消化，使之成为我们的一部分。然后我们在教会内和对这个有需要的世界说出它的真理。

Are you one who says speak Lord for your servant heareth? Do you digest and meditate on the word of God? (Col 3:16) Do you speak the word of God whether it is in fashion or out of fashion? (2 Timothy 4:1-2)
你是那个说“主啊，请说，你的仆人在听”的人吗？你是否消化并默想神的话？（歌罗西书 3:16）你是否无论神的话是否流行，都传讲神的话？（提摩太后书 4:1-2）
