In the past when I heard Bible readings in church, the words would alight and then fly away. Now in my continuing study of the Holy Bible, I try to digest God’s word, really metabolize it into my being. I am more humble now. I am wiser. Nothing has ever nourished me more or kept me healthier.

 Ezekiel 3:2-3

So I opened my mouth, and he (God) gave me this scroll to eat. And he said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly with this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it.” Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.

    The word that was sweet was also bitter. The sweetness of God's message of hope is tempered by the realization of my own sins; God is holy, and I am but a sinner. I must learn to be like israel in Neh 8, when the law was read and the understood their sins--they were told not to mourn because the joy of the Lord is their strength. In His salvation I find deliverance from the sins that cause me to fall. I must rise up and walk again in faith knowing my sins have been forgiven in Christ.
