Sorry week 4 of Fellowship is so delayed. It has been so busy around the "farm" having to mow every couple of days, clean up from the storm, the heat ect.
Today verse is Psalm 19:10 10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.
The study bible version they are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the dripping of honeycomb.
Gods word is better than a diamond, better than a diamond between emeralds. You will like it better than strawberries in the spring! better than red, ripe sweet strawberries.
Wee would like Gods word better than berries, but what if we don't?
What if we are reading Gods word and it seems very dry and tasteless? We have all experienced this. We are not alone. Do not feel bad if the season isn't right. Read and pray about the stale season. IE if the season for strawberries too much or not enough rain, do we forget about the berries? how they taste? NO we do not , as we have experienced that red, sweet, delicious taste. The same is true of the time we spend in Gods word. We know His word is precious and sweet. THIS IS WHY WE KEEP COMING BACK TO HIS WORD TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
Excellent analogies...God's Word is sweeter than the honey from the honeycomb. Usually when it seems dry it is because of our own attitude and dryness. But the more we dig into God's Word, the sweeter it becomes. I am glad you are studying this. Thank you for sharing it with us. Have a wonderful week.
