There are plenty of sweets to go around at Christmas time. It’s that time of year when families all across the country join in the tradition of making cookies, breads, candies and other goodies. Not only do they make these treats for home but they also make them to share with others. Those with a sweet tooth need not search long to find a way to get their sugar fix.
Our physical bodies may crave sugar, but our souls have cravings as well. The Bible says that God’s words are sweeter than honey. As we feed on God’s words and really dig into their goodness, they resonate in our innermost being. We find them delightful, satisfying and life-changing when we take our time to really relish them and let them digest deep within our souls.
They are sweet not only as we consume them but equally as sweet as we share them with others. God’s words are just too incredible to keep them to ourselves. As we share our sweets with others this year, let’s share God’s words of truth, love and life as well. The cookies we deliver will probably not last very long, but God’s words will last for eternity.
How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” ~Psalm 119:103
