Meditations From The Psalms, Part 11

"How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" -
Psalm 119:103

I love how the psalmist uses vivid analogies to drive home a point. Here he tells us that the Word (spiritually speaking) is sweeter than honey. In other words, God's Word satisfies his soul more than honey satisfies his taste buds. Yet how many of us rise in the morning and find that our stomachs are hungrier for food than our soul is for the Word? This is no small issue. There is a very strong contrast being made that tells us what our spiritual experience should be – food for thought. That's the way I see things.
