Sweeter than Honey from the Honeycomb

Psalms 19:7-14
Speaks to us about the Word of God, and tells us that it is to be desired more than fine gold, and that it is sweeter than honey from the honeycomb.

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. 12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.


Here are just a few verses from God's amazing Word. Words that drip with sweetness, and act as medicine, nourishment and prosperity.

In these seven verses alone we see how the Word:

• pulls our lives together
• maps our lives out with clear signs making it plain to follow
• keeps us on course so we can enjoy life's ride (journey)
• is better than valuable set stones
• is sweeter than honey from the honeycomb
  
• warns us of dangers
• directs us toward hidden treasures
• keeps us from presumptuous sins and secret faults

Proverbs 24:13-14 says:
My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.



Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.



There are two kind of witnesses carrying the gospel message.

1. Those upon who's lips are the law of kindness.
2. Those who carry harsh condemning judgment.

• The first operating in love.
• The second from contention.

Are God's Words dripping from your lips like honey when you speak to others, or are the Words coming form your mouth hard and stone cold like gravel that breaks the teeth?

Let's be careful to get our daily portion of honey from the comb, and drip with sweetness everywhere we go.
