Waiting for the Word
Commentators explain that Ezekiel's seven-day waiting period was not idle. Having already been called, he was now waiting for his specific instructions. This illustrates a pattern where God first calls and prepares His servants, and then, at the right moment, gives them their precise message and mission. It's a lesson in patiently waiting for God's timing.
