Sweater also than Honey
“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; The statues of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes… More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, then much fine gold; Sweeter also then honey from the honeycomb. (Psalm 19:7,8,10)
A few days ago, I dumped some old, crystallized honey out in our driveway. I was assuming that it would attract quite a crowd of honeybees. And boy was I right! The next day I found 20+ bees piled all over the honey! They were there all day long! I actually covered some of the honey with gravel from our driveway because I didn’t want our dog eating it. But the gravel didn’t deter them. They pushed the gravel aside and dug right in to get a sweet sip of that honey! I was standing 2 feet away from them and they still didn’t budge. They were so glued to their honey that I don’t even think they looked up at me.

In the Bible, the psalmist David likened the law of the Lord unto the sweetness of honey. These bees were naturally drawn to the honey because of its sweetness. So we are drawn to the word of God because of what it means in our lives. It is sweeter to us than is honey. Look at the bees for example. They let nothing hinder them from getting to the honey. It didn’t matter if a pile of rocks was on top of it. It didn’t matter if I, an enemy, was standing right next to them. (Of course I wasn’t an enemy.) All day they constantly drank from this source. You may read God’s word and feel like it’s kind of boring. You may not realize what is so special about his law. But when you give your life to Christ, the word of God has a new meaning. It is your strength, your comfort, your guide, and your light. I’m not telling you to read God‘s word 24/7. But I am telling you to constantly rely on its promises day by day. Memorize the Bible verse by verse. And throughout the day you can repeat to yourselves the wonderful words of God. Remember spend time in God‘s word which is sweeter also than honey from the honeycomb.
