Nov 29, 2020 … Sweeter Than Honey

Berry Patch Devotions in 2020 - Day 334 

Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ...     Please take the time to take in song and lyrics from the group Mercy Me singing … Word of God Speak … poignantly singing of how we, as Christians, can sample the sweetness and fruitfulness of God Himself when we hear His word speak to us. 

==============

Highlight Passage:  Isaiah 25:6 [ESV] ... 

6  On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined. 

…  One day, at the wedding feast of the Lamb, eternal life will become sweeter than honey.

Reference Passage: … 2Tim 3:16-17  …  [ESV] …  

16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

… God’s word is always fruitful for His will and our good works. 

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Marvin Williams, AT THIS LINK describes a Russian wedding custom where the love exhibited in the kiss of  newlyweds make sweetness out of the bitterness of wedding drink and toast.       

And that’s what God promises in/thru his word, isn’t it; … that God will make our eternal life with Him sweeter than honey and most certainly sweeter than the bitterness of this life.  Can I get a witness?  

There’s a lot of bitterness in life now, isn’t there?  And that’s why you find me here, beginning each day by taking in God’s word, which, as you read above from God’s truth, is always sweeter than honey and points us toward a sweet and ever-fruitful eternal life as God’s bride at the eternal wedding feast of our Bridegroom, … the Lamb of God. 

So, meditate on God’s word with me here today, fellow Christian, and sample the sweetness and power of our God’s love letter to us.  

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, … for giving us the sweetness of Your word to overcome the bitterness of this life. 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray that all reading here will join me to take in the sweetness of Your truth, Lord, … today … and then again tomorrow, … until we take it in forever with You.    … Amen
