Ezekiel 37:9-10

Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army." — Ezekiel 37:9-10 (ASV)

And say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me.

Ezekiel was very obedient. He only wanted to know his Lord's will, and then he raised no question, but did at once just as he was told to do: So I prophesied as he commanded me.

It is a prime qualification in a servant of God that he should do exactly as he is commanded—not to think how he would like to do it, nor to follow the plan that his own wisdom suggests, but just to do as he is told, as Ezekiel did: So I prophesied as he commanded me,.
