Not Static, Mobile

The Lord has directed me to read the book of Ezekiel, I have been listening closely to the words of God in this prophetic book written by the priest Ezekiel, who had visions of the likes I do not comprehend with my mind, but my spirit is leaning in. One of the things the Lord has taught me is that the more we trust Him the less we need to understand before we obey. If I wait to understand the why behind the what, I stay static, rather than keep moving.

Ezekiel 10 speaks of wheels, whirling wheels, wheels within wheels with eyes all around. The rabbi’s call the wheels a class of angelic hosts, divine messengers, ones obedient to the Spirit of God. The wheels are moving, mobile and connected to the throne of God, the presence of God and the glory of God. Just reading it is fun, but do I understand it all, no.

The wheel within the wheels, the rabbi’s say symbolizes the multidimensional nature of God. He is beyond human comprehension, but enjoyable on every level for our spirit that loves to watch the God of the word come alive through men like Ezekiel.

The reason I bring this up today is because I am experiencing and seeing God go from static to mobile in the lives of believers. What used to be only for one location, one destination, one person, one ministry, one whatever, has now gone multidimensional. As we awaken, we are finding He is more active than we thought.

The spirit of God is mobile. I love this statement, “The ophanim (wheels) symbolize that even in exile, God is mobile, and His throne is not confined to the Temple. The wheels follow the glory. God is not static. Even in exile, His Spirit moves.” – Midrash Rabbah

We have been in some challenging times, but God has not been static and as we exit exile and enter situations we do not understand, cast off fear, follow the glory, wonder at the wheels, but know God is not static, His Spirit is moving and leading us in ways we may not understand, but can feel that it is God and we must be on the move.
