Daily Sacrifice, May 5 (1:12)
“They went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went”— Ezekiel 1:12.
THE marvelous vision which is brought before us in this chapter is that of the government of God―Jehovah riding in triumph on His chariot down through the ages and exercising His righteous sway over all the nations. No matter how things may seem to go in this lower scene, the chariot-wheels of the Lord, moved by the living creatures, go every one of them straight forward; nothing can turn aside the divine purpose. God works all things in accordance with the counsel of His own will. To the trusting soul this gives peace despite circumstances.
