Sweeter Than Honey

 

Annie’s Ink-Lings

Verse of the Week

Proverbs 16:24

The pleasant words spoken of here are those which the

heart of the wise teaches, words of seasonable advice, instruction, and comfort, words taken from God's word. Solomon learned from his father to account God’s word as sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.  They are like the honeycomb, sweet to the soul, which tastes in them that the Lord is gracious.  There is nothing more grateful and agreeable to the new man than the word of God.  They are wholesome. Many things are pleasant that are not good for us, but these pleasant words are health to the bones, to the inward man, as well as sweet to the soul. They make the bones, which sin has broken and put out of joint, to rejoice. The bones are the strength of the body; and the good word of God is a means of spiritual strength, curing the diseases (sin) that weaken our souls.

Psalms of David

Psalm 19:10  They are more desirable than gold,
    even the finest gold.
They are sweeter than honey,
    even honey dripping from the comb.

Psalm 119:103  How sweet your words taste to me;
    they are sweeter than honey.

Blessings,
