As I watched the four creatures, I saw something that looked like a wheel on the ground beside each of the four-faced creatures.  The wheels were identical, sparkling like diamonds in the sun. It looked like they were wheels within wheels, like a gyroscope.   EZEKIEL 1:15-16  THE MESSAGE 

Creatures in Ezekiel’s vision parallel the gospel portraits of Jesus—

   the lion previews Matthew’s King, the ox Mark’s Servant,

   the man Luke’s humanity, the eagle John’s God.

As the wheel of time has turned through the generations,

   I have been the Home of every believer—their Center of Gravity.

   I am without beginning or end, a Circle of infinite power.

   I am the Eternal God Who Will Always Be Who I Have Been.

From your heart outwards, let your relationship to Me influence all.

   Let every concentric circle in your life be ruled by My love.

   Do not think you are a big wheel just because you go around in circles.

   Find a valuable life purpose and stick with it through thick and thin.

When you look at the sun, think of the Sun of Righteousness—

   permit His healing rays to transform your life into holy health.

When you look at the moon, think of the Light of the world—

   reflect His kind nature to everyone around you.

When you look at the constellations, think of the Bright Morning Star—

   whistle in the dark as you worship Him and learn His song.

When you look at the earth, think of Almighty God—

   trust Me to see you through the years, as I do the orbiting planet.

One day the universe will come full circle—restored to pristine beauty.

   Until then count on My Spirit to guide you, My power to stabilize you,

      My love to encompass you, and My Presence to encircle you.

   You could never find a better gyroscope for your soul.
