I'm using a devotion book called "Lifewalk" these days...a journey through the Bible every year. Today I began the book of Ezekiel...and read one of the (many) passages that I've NEVER known (or processed) before: (Chapter 3 v 1-3) "Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll....so I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat. Then he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it." So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth." He literally ATE God's word!! That gives a whole new meaning to "devouring a good book"! God was sending Ezekiel into a land of hardened and rebellious people (Israelites in Babylon). God LITERALLY filled him w/ His word and His spirit...and made it taste good, too--COOL!! This reminds me how much I limit God...his ways are not my ways...but how often I try to confine Him and force Him to operate within MY bounds, within MY understanding!
beautiful: God's ability to work IN SPITE OF me!
good: the last days of summer vacation
