Good and sweet!…

Psalm 119:103  How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!  I definitely have a problem with a sweet tooth!  It seems a meal is just not complete without a little …or sometimes a lot, of something sweet!  What if we had that same burning desire for God’s word? Give us this day our daily bread.  Just as honey is a natural sweetener,  the Bible is a super natural sweetener in the life of the believer.  From Mayo Clinic…
Honey contains mostly sugar, as well as a mix of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, iron, zinc, and antioxidants. In addition to its use as a natural sweetener, honey is used as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial agent. People commonly use honey orally to treat coughs and topically to treat burns and promote wound healing.  Is it any wonder the Lord makes this comparison with honey and God’s word?
Antibacterial,  consider… John 15:3  Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.  Also… John 17:17  Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.  Psalm 147:3  He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.  It would be impossible to describe the comfort and healing God’s Holy book has brought to his children through the ages.  Truly, God’s word is sweet and very good⁷!  The world we live in is getting more and more sour by the minute.  May the Lord help us to pull up to God’s table and say… Pass me the honey, please.  Amen.  Pastor
