Daily Thoughts - Convicted
"I took the small scroll from the angel's hand and swallowed it. In my mouth it was like sweet honey, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour." Revelation 10:10
Sweet and sour are opposite to each other, how does that go hand and hand with God's word? The Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John along with God's Word speaks to the soul. We are attracted to it but once we devour it, it convicts the spirit. It forces us to change, He transforms us in our thinking, in our actions, in who we think we are.
There is a battle over our soul and we are the central player. Will we listen and hang on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God and accept His teachings. Teachings that go against what we think we know in the natural world. The conviction that goes on inside causes us to change, to become more loving, more understanding as you watch another go through the sweetness of honey and sourness of change.
Change is never easy, do we ever look forward to it? It requires work, it takes effort, it takes commitment. The change that comes is worth every penny and we never stop changing as long as we devour His word. God knows how to invite the soul into a loving relationship with Him. Once He is on the inside, the rest is a partnership.
Dear Father God, I watch You at work and hang upon every word that comes from Your mouth. There is sweetness in the tasting of salvation and conviction when we know what needs to be done. Lead us along this path of life as You accomplish Your mission for us. Prayers for the healing touch of the Masters hands as He operates this morning. You are mighty God, You are God who hears and responds. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Help of the Sick, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
