Sweet Like Honey
From Pastor Tim Olof
Ezekiel 3:1-3
Moreover He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that scroll. And He said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you.” So I ate, and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.”
Ezekiel wasn’t to merely “taste” or “sample” God’s written revelation, he was to fill himself with it. Ezekiel experienced what Psalm 119:103 speaks of, “How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”
Spurgeon: “If the Word of God be not very sweet to me, have I an appetite? Solomon says, “The full soul loatheth(dislikes) an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. When a soul is full of itself, and of the world, and of the pleasures of sin, I do not wonder that it sees no sweetness in Christ, for it has no appetite!”
May God bless you as you eat of the richness of His Word.
Tim
