Welcome to Day 27 of the Proverbs Challenge and as we enter into the final few days, have a look over your journal, or notes, to see how far you have come, with the Lord, with Him revealing His truths into your heart
Today, we are reading Chapter 27, so let me share which verse I am writing on:
“A person who is full refuses honey, but even bitter food tastes sweet to the hungry.”
Proverbs 27:7
My Thoughts: Honey can be such an understated food, and often we will gorge on other things before honey is considered. Yet, to someone who is hungry, honey is something that produces energy for them, and satisfies their stomach so that they yearn for more
Thinking of the poor, they are usually more grateful, or thankful, for the little enjoyments in life, compared to others, because complacency kicks in and we forget the little day-to-day blessings that God provides us with
For me, honey is a delight, because it is a miracle in a bottle! Bees are something so small, that God created to fly – even though ”scientifically” or from laws of aviation, the bees shouldn’t be able to, and yet, the bee makes honey from pollen. The whole process fascinates me
My Reflection: In a contrast of being hungry, the self-sufficient does not want to read the Gospel because they feel the world already gives them what they need
Yet, to those of us who are continually hungry, we thirst and hunger for righteousness and therefore, even the most robust Word, or harshest sermon can turn our hearts back to the Lord
Why?
Because it brings comfort and testifies to Jesus!
