Rev 10:9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey. For most of us we are always trying to decern our way into the furture and pray our way into what we want to happen... We get stimulated at the possibility of having info no one else does or being able to perdict whats coming next.. Most of us feel pleasure in looking into future events only to know the outcome and most witnesses (NT Greek for witness is martyr) like to receive a fresh word of God from time to time... But, in Rev 10:9 when this little scroll was thoroughly digested by John, the contents(Truth) would be bitter... There have been times (recent times) in my Christian walk with my Father that I have felt a knowing there were things that would be awful and terrible, acts of persecution (we arent talking about being burned on a cross) by the people of God... the foresight and foreknowledge of what is there... but the knowing that God is calling me to stand right in the midst of the fiery darts... Things that are painful for my mind and hard on my sence of rejection to endure... Although my revelation isnt the same as Johns, I know this... God is the God of order, He is the God of how He has called it to be.... I also know details matter to my Father and He takes notice of those who want it their way and not His way... Their will and not Gods will God will is Gods will... Even if its not the way we would have it... If we had it our way we wouldnt need God... I am thankful today that I know I need Him...Let us seek to be taught by Christ, and to obey His orders; daily meditating on His Word, that it may nourish our souls; and then declaring it according to what we believe He has called into being.,.. The sweetness of such contemplations will often be mingled with bitterness, while we compare the Scriptures with the state of the world and the church, or even with that of our own hearts. But fear not... God honors obedience to His will and not loyalty to man way... Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. So it doesnt really matter what I feel like, what I think I should do... will just stay put amongst the fiery darts... Obedience is sometimes the traqde of comforter...e
