Honey

Scripture Passage: Revelation 10:9-10a

In the Old Testament, the Psalmist says how he loves to meditate on God's words and that God's words are sweeter than honey to his mouth.  In Revelation when the angel told John to grasp and fully digest the words of the scroll it was sweet in his mouth but like bad news in his stomach.  But God's eternal purposes will be the good news- the gospel, which is sweeter than honey.

The scroll, or God's word.
2. What did the angel tell John to do?
To eat it, meaning to meditate on it.

Memory verse: Psalm 119:103
How sweet are your words to my taste; they are sweeter than honey. (NLT)
