Eating scrolls

EZEKIEL 3

1And he said to me, “Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the people of Israel.” 2So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.

3Then 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.

The imagery here is actually pretty great. Eat/digest the words you are given. Let them become part of you, let your “meal” be healthy words, words that are delicious, words that should be shared with other people. Words that give nourishment that are good for the soul.
