The Word is filling in the belly and sweet as honey. It feeds the soul and the mouth tastes its nectar. The more we study the Scriptures, the more the pantries of our hearts and minds store for when more nourishment is needed. (vs. 2-3)
Ezekiel eating the scroll God provided paints a vivid picture of how we are to accept the Scriptures of the Bible He left for us. When accepting Jesus Christ as our savior, we answer His call to receive the Word as Truth and share it "whether they hear, or whether they refuse" (vs. 11). However, it was not intended for us to force it upon anyone. Our purpose is to spread the Gospel when and how the Spirit moves us to. It is not our job to make people surrender. They too have the God-given free will to concede or not. But no matter what, the seed was planted and the name of Jesus is hard to ignore.
Take a lesson from Ezekiel. Although we may be rejected by many, we should continue to go forth and spread the Word when inspired.
