Revelation 10  John saw an angel, "coming down out of heaven clothed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire."  This angel was large enough that his one foot stood on the sea and the other on the land.  Yet, John was instructed to go and take a book out of his hand. 

John was then instructed to eat the book.  And, just as he was told, it tasted like honey, but hurt his stomach.  "And they said to me, 'You must prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and kings." 

Was the book meant to strengthen him.. or give him the words to prophesy?  There are mysteries that we will not know until eternity.. but John heard them.. "And when the seven peals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write; and I heard a voice from heaven saying,'Seal up the things which the seven peals of thunder have spoken and do not write them." 

There will be a day, John is told when "the mystery of God is finished.."  But until then, he was commissioned to keep speaking forth the Word. And likewise, that is our commission.. to "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo I am with you always even to the end of the age." ( Matt. 28:19-20)

Father in heaven, fill us with the Living Water and the Bread of Life.. let Your Word be like honey on our lips and Your Truth fill our hearts and minds.  We need You to give us the Spirit of power and love and sound minds, that we might do the work that You are calling us to do.  We look to You Father and pray for Your name to be hallowed, for Your Kingdom to come and for Your will to be done in us today. In the Name of Jesus our Lord we pray. Amen
