Diagnostic Center The Full Stature of Man Ezekiel 2:1 “Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.” Ezekiel thought that he honored God by falling prostrate on the ground. He learned that God was rather honored by his standing on his feet. Self-possession is necessary for the highest forms of dealing with God. Yet humility is necessary too. There is too little of prostration before God. We must get down before we can get up. That is a blessed humiliation that comes from a realization of God. But this man whom God commanded to rise and stand on his feet had been low down in the dust of life. First, lowly abase ment. Then “rise and stand upon thy feet.” God calls us to true dignity when he calls us to his service. It is a very false view of religion which holds that it tends to make a man poor-spirited with loss of integrity. True self-respect has its roots in religion. When God says, “stand”, it also means that he requires courage in the souls that would serve him. “Be not afraid of them.” The first quality or attribute of the true prophet is conviction. The prophets of science have it. Any man to be useful must have it. Another quality of a true prophet is that of courage. And even another quality of the faithful prophet is character. Conviction, cour age, character. “Son of man stand upon thy feet.” The call to stand upon the feet indicates also the uprightness that God would have in his servants. Right- OPENS NEW STORE Jk'R |>V.

Then when God calls us to stand he means he would have us in readiness to act. “I will speak unto thee.” “I will commission thee.” God would oftener speak to us, but he does not see that we are ready to do anything.

When the jelly disappeared from the refrigerator, when a baseball shat tered the window, when Mother discovered the stray cat sleeping in her washbasket . . . like a magnetic needle the accusing finger of my parents pointed toward me. It’s a crushing experience to get caught. But it can teach us a vital lesson. We soon discover a sense of responsibility and learn our obligation to others. Our true identity emerges. The Church stands ready to help us learn responsibility. Through religious education youth today can still discover personal identity-while gaining a res ponsible view of man’s obligations to God and to society.
