Social Stomachs

Read: Ezekiel 2:1-3:4

Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord! —Psalm 119:1

Bible In One Year: Genesis 47-50


Honey ants survive in difficult times by depending on certain members of their group known as "honey pots." They take in so much nectar that they swell up until they resemble little round berries, hardly able to move. When food and water become scarce, these ants act as "social stomachs" and sustain the entire colony by dispensing what they have stored in their own bodies.

Similarly, the messenger of God must fill his heart and mind with the truths of Scripture. Only as he is faithful in applying the Word of God to his own life can he honestly give its nourishing encouragement and exhortation to others.

The Lord told the prophet Ezekiel to eat a scroll that contained a message full of "lamentations and mourning and woe" (Ezekiel 2:10). Because he was submissive to the Lord and applied the lesson to his own heart first, he could boldly present the life-giving message to all who would listen.

As believers, we too must develop a "social stomach" by digesting the truths of the Bible and allowing the Spirit of God to make them a part of our lives. Then, filled with God's Word, we can speak effectively to others who are in need of spiritual food. —Mart De Haan

As we read Your Word, O Lord,
Our spirit will be fed;
We then can share with others
That precious living bread. —D. De Haan

Jesus said, "I am the bread of life." —John 6:35

Hi, snippy, Sam and all the rest of you'se Foxhole Regulars. What a co-incidence. I'm half-way through the book, "The Rescue of River City," by Medal of Honor recipient retired Army Major Drew Dix, my neighbor up the road a piece.

"The book is a true story about unconventional operations in Vietnam that makes the fictional "Rambo" pale by comparison," according to the inside cover quote by Hank Emerson, Lietenant General, U.S. Army (Retired).

Will send him the link here.
