My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.

I love sweets!!!!! Really, love sweets!!! Ezekiel 1-6
I love sweets!!!! To my family that is not a hidden secret. I doubt if that is a hidden secret to many of my friends. I happened to be married to a wife who is a master at creating sweets. It is a perfect match made in heaven. I can't wait sometimes to have them. It is, of course, not always good for me. I have often wished for the perfect sweet that adds no calories, inches or short term fatigue after consumed. That is were Ezekiel 3:3 comes into play. Ezekiel is a book we read that contains many challenges. When comparing it to other Bible books it would have to be in the vain of Paul's meat and not milk. It opens with an amazing vision Ezekiel is trying to relay to us in words. That vision is God's Word and it is being read by an angel from a scroll. The scroll is God's Word. In Ezekiel 3:3 we read that God instructs Ezekiel to "eat" the scroll. I am not much into eating scrolls, but can't imagine they taste good. But, we read that when Ezekiel eats God's Word it became to him sweet - sweet as honey. Here is the perfect sweet. Rather than adding fat this sweet (God's Word) cuts the fat. Rather than adding calories it exercises the flesh and brings it into subjection. Rather than leaving you fatigued hours after consuming it we find that we are energized and inspired by the taste. Not everyone who reads God's Word finds it so tasteful. Some find it boring. Some find it complex. Some find it old. Yet, when consumed with Faith, God's Word is sweet to the taste. Ezekiel was told to eat and faith and obedience He did. That made the scroll taste like honey. When we approach God's Word with faith it will leave a sweet taste in the mouth and great strength in the heart. I love sweets. I love His Word.
