The Book of Ezekiel is like a beautiful tapestry, consisting of many varied and colorful threads that are divinely and delicately woven into several intricate and detailed patterns. However, it is but one artistic, inspired piece, though it contains magnificent threads. In this writing, divine inspiration has led us to follow one thread through this astounding prophetic book: the visionary and typical view of the Gospel Day portrayed in these prophecies.

Have you ever wondered: "Why is this happening? Why am I in this situation?" If so, consider the lives of Joseph, Esther, the Apostle John, the Apostle Paul, and John Bunyan. Today, we read their stories, and God's providential plan is quite clear. Yet, in the midst of their difficult trials, they must have prayed, "Take it away" or "Get me out of here" or "Make it stop!" Although they could not have fully seen it at the time, God was working every difficult situation for good, for His purpose. God is yet working His counsel, His thoughts, and His will in the lives of all who love and serve Him. We do not always know God's providential will for our life, or even a portion of our life, but we can be encouraged that: Throughout our entire lives, God is working "all things after the counsel of his own will."
