Revelation 10:9
"Take and eat the scroll (some say this is the Word of God.....His instructions). It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey."
Revelation is a fascinating book! It is all fiery, wordy,
scary, full of prophecy and warnings, mysterious. It is fortunate to have this passage during this season of Lent because it kind of sums up the Lenten attitude.
The Lord's words are as sweet as honey. He makes promises to us that will provide eternal life! ETERNAL LIFE!!! Life in God's holy arms! But there is also the bitter reality: if we CHOOSE not to hear God's Word, there will be a sour price to pay.
The mighty angels have things to tell us in Revelation, but the simple truth is this: Listen to God's simple commands. Don't make them harder than they have to be. And when making this effort, God doesn't expect perfection, He expects dedication. Your belly doesn't have to turn sour, but can be refreshed daily knowing that Jesus died to save us from the sourness, if only we listen and proclaim God's sweet words!
