"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. Then He said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them."--Ezekiel 3:1-4
Dear Suzanne, Rebecca, Anna and Mikayla,
Ezekiel was to receive the word of God into his body and feed on its truth and allow it to strengthen Him for the job he was given to do. He was then to speak God's words to the people. The word of God girls, is our necessary food. We, like Ezekiel, are to feed on it and allow it to strengthen us for whatever we face in this life. If we are diligent in our study, we will find that the Lord speaks to us from His word exactly what is needed for that hour, for that day or for that trial. He uses His word in our lives to strengthen us, to impart wisdom and to penetrate our hearts. It is what God says that matters. It is His word we are to speak to others...not our ideas or opinions...His words. His word is what will feed them spiritually. His word is what will strengthen them and impart wisdom. His word is what changes hearts.
"And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO PREACH THE GOSPEL OF PEACE, WHO BRING GLAD TIDINGS OF GOOD THINGS!" But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?" So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."--Romans 10:15-17
"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."--Hebrews 4:12
"So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."--Isaiah 55:11

Mom
