Lament mourn and woe form God is sweet…
The scroll that God gave to Ezekiah was filled with lamentations, mourning, and woe. The scroll was not a good scroll because it contained bad things. I don’t like lament, mourn and woe and I think everyone include Ezekiah also don’t like lament, mourn and woe.
But, the things changed when God asked Ezekiah to swallow the scroll. I think Ezekiah felt burden to swallow it. But when he swallowed the scroll, it taste sweet. I can understand now. God’s lament, mourn and woe are sweet. It sweet for everyone that want to take it and “eat it”.
Sometime God lament, mourn and woe via anything in my life. It can be the problem I get from what I have done before. It can be the rebuke I get from my discipler of Christ. It can be anything I get. I “eat it”, it become sweet. I eat it means I repent.
And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein; And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
