Eat! Go! Speak!

Ezekiel 3:1
Then He said to me, Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.

As a Christian, I always feel like I need to go out and speak. When I actually try and go and speak to people about Jesus, I usually choke or just don't say anything and at times feel discouraged. However, according to this verse, we need to eat the Word! We need to read the Bible! When we read the Word, we are energized and supplied by God's word. Therefore, we can go out and speak out the virtues of Christ to others (1 Pet. 2:9)! I am so glad that I don't need to be nervous and prepare a speech to talk to someone about God, but rather I am given to speak by God what I read that day in His Word (Matt. 10:19).
