—Revelation 10:8-11
by: Katie Brown.
You know the phrase, “You are what you eat”? John was asked in this passage to eat a scroll as Ezekiel did in Ezekiel chapter 3. Although eating a book might sound strange, God wanted the prophets to be transformed by His Word—to not only hear His instructions but to live the Scripture. The words were sweet in John’s mouth but bitter in his stomach, showing the sweetness of God’s promises and the serious nature of His warnings. God may call us to challenging missions such as warning the lost, but He desires to transform us to fit His call.
