Sweeter than Honeycomb

Sure, you can turn to chocolate or temporary, feel-good fixes the world offers. But for lasting relief eternal relief there’s something that is sweeter and more satisfying even than honey.
These are the exact words that King David used to describe the effect that the Word of God had on his trouble spirit: “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” (Psalm 119:103). And in Proverbs 4:20-22, King Solomon wrote that wise words are to be hidden deep within our hearts “for they are life to those who find them and health to a man’s whole body.”
