Read Pro. 13:35
We are slowly inching our way through Proverbs... Have you ever been starving and thought if you could just have something to eat you would be satisfied forever? Then you eat and five hours later you are hungry again. The only thing you can eat and get any lasting satisfaction is the Word of God. It is our spiritual food. God gave us the example of manna from heaven which fell every night except the night before the Sabbath. It was like coriander seed, white, and tasted like wafers made with honey. Is not that what the Word of God is? It is a seed that we plant in our spirit and as we read and meditate upon it and cultivate it into our lives it grows into a tree that is strong and stable and something we can find shade and protection under. It is white with purity and truth and it tastes good to our soul. It is like honey: sweet and satisfying. We need it daily to keep growing just like our physical bodies need food but it is the food of eternal life which is something a five-course meal can never give us.
The wicked will never find that in what they eat. They will always be in want and never satisfied.
Lord, your Word is the honey from the rock and your anointing is the oil from the flinty rock. Feed us with your honey and anoint us with your oil.
