A honeycomb is an elaborate series of hexagonal cells made from a natural wax secreted by female worker bees. These worker bees must digest more than eight pounds of honey to create one pound of wax. A conservative estimate states that bees must fly 150,000 miles to process one pound of beeswax.
They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb (Psalm 19:10).
A miraculous amount of time and energy goes into the making of honey and the honeycomb. When God’s Word is compared to honey, honey falls short. When we stop to grasp the richness and complexity of God’s Word, it should leave us wanting more. Studying Scripture can be much more satisfying when we take the time to truly study and digest what it says. When we are saturated in God’s Word, it not only nourishes our spirits, but it also fuels our efforts as we minister to a lost world.
Prayer Suggestion: God, help me to carve out more time to study Your Word.
