…and honey
“Then the Lord spoke to Moses, ‘Depart, go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To your descendants I will give it.’
“’I will send an angel before you and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite. Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, because you are an obstinate people, and I might destroy you on the way.’” Exodus 33:1-3
Although God clearly hates sin, it remains enticing for all of us if we are conscious. When you think about some of the properties of sin, it strikes me that honey is a bit like sin…Honey is appealing to the eyes and ‘tastes’ good -- but it is sticky and difficult to get off your fingers.
Fortunately, God’s gracious payment for our sins, washes the stickiest mess of our sin completely away – past, present and future. Humbling of all, when our hands get ‘sticky’ with sin once again – and they will -- we have the ‘spiritual soap’ our loving Father has left for us (I John 1:8-10).
Take care with love, especially His, from Darlene, who still prays for you each day.

NOTE: I choose to believe the Bible because it's a reliable collection of historical documents written down by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They reported supernatural events that took place before, of specific prophecies; and claim that their writings are divine rather than human in origin.
