Summary: GOD'S WORD IS SWEETER THAN HONEY.
THE SWEETNESS OF HONEYCOMB
OBSERVATION: PSALMS 119 IS THE LONGEST OF THE PSALMS AND MENTIONS NO AUTHOR’S NAME. THE WRITER DID FIND GOD’S WORD PLEASANT, PALATABLE AND SWEETER THAN HONEY.
INTERPRETATION: PSALMS 119:103 (NKJV) HOW SWEET ARE YOUR WORDS TO MY TASTE, SWEETER THAN HONEY TO MY MOUTH! PSALMS 119:103 THE BOOK: HOW SWEET ARE YOUR WORDS TO MY TASTE, THEY ARE SWEETER THAN HONEY.
POINTS TO PONDER:
THAT GOD SPEAKS AT ALL TO HIS PEOPLE IS SOMETHING THE PSALMIST MARVELED. HE FOUND SWEETNESS AND CONSOLATION IN GOD’S WORD.
HONEY TAKES AWAY BITTERNESS IN FOOD: WHEN A BELIEVER IS UNDER DURESS, AFFLICTION, TEMPTATION OR PERSECUTION, THE HONEY OF THE WORD ALLEVIATES BITTERNESS.
ALTHOUGH GOD’S WORD IS HONEY, SWEETNESS AND CONSOLATION, SADLY, SOME DO NOT WANT IT. DECEIVED BY SATAN, THEY OPPOSE HIS WORD.
YOU MUST EMBRACE ALL OF GOD’S WORD TO ENJOY THE FULLNESS AND SWEETNESS OF THE HONEYCOMB: YOU CANNOT CHOOSE BUFFET STYLE!
HIS WORD, SWEETER THAN HONEY, PRODUCES GOD’S DESIRE FOR YOUR LIFE. LET HIS TRUTH BE SWEET TO YOUR TASTE.
PROVERBS 24:13-14 (THE BOOK) MY CHILD, EAT HONEY FOR IT IS GOOD, AND THE HONEYCOMB IS SWEET TO THE TASTE. IN THE SAME WAY, WISDOM IS SWEET TO YOUR SOUL. IF YOU FIND IT, YOU WILL HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE, AND YOUR HOPES WILL NOT BE CUT SHORT.
APPLICATION: PURSUIT FOR BIBLICAL WISDOM, WHILE RIGOROUS, IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL AND PLEASANT AS HONEY.
