Sweeter Than Honey

Given the incredible uncertainty in the world today, we look for stability and security. We don’t know the how long we will be at war in the Middle East. We don’t know if the stock market is going up or down. Will we develop alternative energy before existing sources become unaffordable? Who will be our next president? In what will we find stability?

People certainly can let us down. Our job offers little guarantee for the future. One thing we know never changes—God and His Word. Mark 13:31 says, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.”

Psalms 19:7 - 10, "The instructions of the LORD are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are clear, giving insight for living. Reverence for the LORD is pure, lasting forever. The laws of the LORD are true; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb."

God's Words revive the soul. They make wise the simple and bring joy to the heart. God's Words give insight for living and last forever. They are true. They are more desirable than gold. God's Words are sweeter than honey and have great reward. Everyone feeds his own body as well as possible, even more than necessary. God's Word is like food to our spirit. How well do we feed our spirit? How healthy is our spirit?

God's Word is sweeter than honey. In Jeremiah 15:16 we read, "Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts." God's Word will bring stability to your life. So, take a big bite out every day.

Peace,

Stan
