did you eat breakfast?
When God told Ezekiel to eat the scroll doesnt He ask us to do the same? To have our daily bread. It is so sweet to the lips like honey. It's important to really savor the flavor of God's word and to digest it. Just like with earthly food when you really enjoy a good meal, you savor it and tell others about it. You would never suggest a restaurant that you haven't eaten at. Saying "i've heard it's good" is not near as powerful as saying "you have to eat there!" Our own hunger for the Word encourages others to dig in. God first wanted Ezekiel to taste for himself before he was to go out and declare God's word, and by being full of God's Word he was able to go out and complete the mission God had given him. Just like eating breakfast to have energy for the day. We need to be full of God's Word to be able to go out and be HIS disciples.
