Scripture:
Ezekiel 3:1, 10
He told me, “Son of man, eat what you see. Eat this book. Then go and speak to the family of
Then he said, “Son of man, get all these words that I am giving you inside you. Listen to them obediently. Make them your own.”
Observation:
God’s command to Ezekiel beautifully illustrated how we should ingest the Word of God. When we eat something (healthy), its nourishment is absorbed and distributed to the cells in our body helping us to function in health and strength.
Application:
This is such a graphic image of exactly how I am to absorb and integrate the Word of God into my life. God wants me to study His words with the passion of a really hungry person- hungry for His wisdom, Hungry for His strength, encouragement and even hungry for His correction. I need to digest it through a filter of honesty, allowing it to convict me of errors in my thinking, to expose sin and to lead me into greater obedience to God.
Prayer:
Father, help me to be like that hungry person that comes to your table expecting to be satisfied. Help me to ingest your words passionately and honestly. I need a greater revelation of the satisfaction that is found at your table.
