Jayamsih! Welcome to today’s devotion.
After that I ate it!
Ezekiel 3:1-3
- Many hear the word of God, but their problems are not lifted up, because they do not eat what they hear. Sooner or later God will make us eat what we hear by sending circumstances to our door, in circumstances of God’s determined plan.
God’s word produces its own life, and Adam’s knowledge produces its own death. What we eat through our spiritual digestive system will produce life or death in our time. The results of knowing how to live, but not of experiencing what we know. Which leads us to lack strength and hunger for the Word of God.
If we hear the Word of God but do not eat it, we are left to live in what we hear in order to live in our own harmony that produces our own accountability. Sooner or later we will have pangs of hunger, and through circumstances, God causes us to eat. It may be sweet to our mouth, but it will be bitter to our soul. What we eat outside is what we reap.
The result of eating from other trees is to leave us empty in the word of God, but also full of useless things. Yet the Word of God does not return void, and it reproduces the accountability of its character, when it is admitted. The knee of faith opens the door to Jesus Christ, because that is what we see through the window of promise. When we eat, we must have God’s food with us as our fare (2 Kings 4:41) – so that faith can work to cleanse human waste and fill our stomachs with the sweetness of God’s Word.
Today’s reading passage is Acts 17-19
