Eat Honey

DAY 22- Proverbs 24

"Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste. Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off." Proverbs 24: 13-14

We all enjoy eating a delicacy that melts in your mouth. When I close my eyes and picture my favorite piece of Sees candy (a milk chocolate Bordeaux), my mouth almost waters as I think aobut its smooth, sweet flavor and the lingering taste it leaves in my mouth. I think these verses are advising us to seek wisdom for the pleasure and the lingering taste it will bring. We rarely hesitate to satisfy our taste buds with sweet treats, but how often do we feed our souls a treat- with wisdom?

Our desire to learn, gain understanding and wisdom should grow as we grow. It is one diet that won't increase our waistline as we indulge. It will instead increase our hope. It is OK to crave widsom and to feed that craving continuously. Go ahead and indulge in wisdom. Gather as much of it as possible and savor it. Bon apetite!
