““God wanted to hear Ezekiel’s answer, just as He sometimes wants us to carefully assess the true potential in whatever difficult situation lies before us. Perhaps we’ve concluded that a way out or a remedy or a resolution is impossible. Our condition or our circumstances seem hopeless. But is that really the case? God was challenging Ezekiel to carefully evaluate the situation before him. He required a response, so of course Ezekiel gave Him one: “And I answered, ‘O Lord GOD, you know’ ” (37:3).””
