Sweet and Sour Sauce Bible – Part 1
I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. And they said to me, “You must prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.” [Revelation 10:10-11]
There is this silly old TV commercial I always got a kick out of. These three brothers are the center of attention. Two of them appear to be elementary school age, while the third is pre-school age. Well, the two older ones hang together, while the little tyke is kind of off on his own, too young to fit in with his older siblings.
As is common once kids get out of the house, their eyes open up to the world outside the home. They see other kids and feed off of each other’s idiosyncrasies. They develop their own likes and dislikes and start in with the individualistic behaviors.
In that vein the two older kids are finicky about the family meals. The commercial shows them apprehensive about some newfangled cereal mom brought home. Since mom wants them to eat it, you see, they automatically dig in the heels. After all, they’re big kids now. They have their own likes! It didn’t help any that mom insisted the cereal was healthy either.
Anyway, in the commercial the two older siblings have to figure out what to make of this new cereal named “Life”. They bounce some ideas off each other and finally glance at the youngest sibling. He’s too young to be finicky yet. He’ll try anything! The oldest brother tells his buddy brother, “I know. Let’s give it to Mikey. He eats anything!”
I get a kick out of it, but that’s just me. I think part of the reason I enjoy the commercial is because I’ve always been the exact opposite. I’m a meat and potatoes guy. The most ethnic dish I ever eat is pizza, and only sausage pizza will do. All other kinds are not real pizza, if you ask me.
So no, I’m not Mikey by any stretch of the imagination. I won’t try anything, and I’m quite content not to. I am not at all hard to please, unlike some folks I know. If they don’t have a different type of food daily, they think they’re being abused! Me, I can eat sausage pizza everyday and think I died and went to heaven! But that’s just me.
My kids are not meat and potatoes people. They are those weirdo types who need something different all the time. They are Mikeys. Give it to ‘em: they’ll eat anything!
This is an excellent time to pause and ponder the Bible text quoted to kick off this study. John was told to eat, and I’ve descanted on eating a bit today. Do you see the connection yet? We’ll pursue the topic on the morrow. Enjoy time with Jesus now.
To further research this issue, I direct you to my book Deuteronomy: Volume 5 of Heavenly Citizens in Earthly Shoes. To purchase my books please go to:
