In what ways can we share God's message after internalizing it like Ezekiel? A Living Example from Ezekiel 3:1 “Then He said to me, ‘Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.’” Savoring the Scroll: How We Internalize God’s Word • Read prayerfully and slowly, letting every phrase sink in (Psalm 119:11). • Memorize key passages so they become part of your reflexes (Jeremiah 15:16). • Meditate throughout the day—turn verses over in your mind until they shape your worldview (Joshua 1:8). • Sing or recite Scripture; music seals truth in the heart (Colossians 3:16). Overflow: Practical Ways to Share After We’ve “Eaten” the Word • Everyday Conversation – Work Scripture naturally into chats at home, school, or the workplace (Deuteronomy 6:7). • Personal Testimony – Tell how God’s Word has changed you; people relate to authentic stories (Revelation 12:11; Acts 4:20). • Acts of Love and Service – Let deeds confirm the message; light seen draws attention to truth spoken (Matthew 5:16). • Teaching and Mentoring – Lead a small Bible study, guide a new believer, or disciple your children (2 Timothy 2:2). • Written Communication – Journals, letters, blogs, or social posts can carry Scripture beyond your voice (Habakkuk 2:2). • Prophetic Boldness – When culture contradicts God’s ways, speak truth respectfully but firmly (Jeremiah 20:9; Acts 5:29). • Intercessory Prayer – Pray Scripture over people; God may open doors for deeper conversation (Colossians 4:3). Heart Posture While Sharing • Faithfulness—speak the whole counsel of God, not just the comfortable parts (Acts 20:27). • Compassion—truth delivered with grace reflects Christ’s character (Ephesians 4:15). • Humility—remember we too depend on mercy (1 Corinthians 15:10). • Reliance on the Spirit—“‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of Hosts.” (Zechariah 4:6). • Consistency—live what you say; integrity sustains your witness (Philippians 1:27). Encouragement to Go and Speak Like Ezekiel, once we have tasted the sweetness of God’s Word, we cannot keep silent. Whether across the kitchen table or across the globe, every believer equipped with Scripture can be God’s messenger today. |
