In this devotional short, the speaker urges listeners to experience the Bible not merely as a text to read or study, but as spiritual food to be "eaten" so that its words become sweet like honey. He argues that the dryness many feel is not due to the Bible itself or the individual, but to a lack of teaching on how to internalize Scripture. Traditional methods—reading, underlining, memorizing—are critiqued for missing the essential act of ingesting the Word. He cites Ezekiel 3:4, where God tells the prophet to eat His words before speaking them, to illustrate that one must first consume God’s message before sharing it with spouses, children, coworkers, or congregations. The overall message is a passionate call to shift from intellectual study to heartfelt consumption of God’s Word, enabling believers to speak with divine authority and experience the sweetness of Scripture.

Chapters

If the Bible feels dry, your spirit may be hungry. This is the testimony I want you to hear this morning. When the word goes into you the way it was designed to go in, even the hard words taste sweet because it is not the content of the word that determines the sweetness. It is the source of the word. It came from the hand of God. And anything that comes directly from the hand of God eaten directly into the belly of a man tastes like honey. That is what reading your Bible was always supposed to feel like. If your Bible reading has not tasted like honey in a long time, the problem is not the Bible, beloved. The problem is not even you. The problem is that nobody ever taught you how to eat. They taught you how to read. They taught you how to study. They taught you how to underline, how to memorize. They did not teach you how to put the scroll in your mouth and chew it until it tasted like honey. And here's what God told Ezekiel right after he ate. Verse number 4. Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them. You can only speak his words after you have been— after you have eaten his words. Whatever God has called you to say to your spouse, to your children, to your co-worker, to your church members, pastors, to your congregations, to your city as a prophet of God. It has to be eaten before it can be spoken.
