**Ezekiel 4:15** — *"Look," He replied, "I will let you use cow dung instead of human excrement, and you may bake your bread over that."*
Ezekiel had protested. A priest by birth, he had never defiled himself — and God *heard* him.
This is not a passage most will read at a dinner table. Yet here, in the unglamorous mechanics of a prophetic sign-act, we find covenant mercy at work. God had commanded something ceremonially unbearable. Ezekiel cried out. And God adjusted.
This is not compromise — it is a Shepherd who *attends* to His servant's conscience. The mission remained. The message remained. The man was not crushed beneath the weight of obedience.
Scripture reminds us that God does not require us to be undone in order to be used. He is precise in His calling and tender in its delivery.
Walk with that today — the God who appoints the task also abides with the one He sends.
