Honey in the Rock

 Honey in the Rock

Why does the Lord refer to His Word as being sweet as honey? Maybe that is something you have never heard of. God says, “Taste and See My Goodness.”

“I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own knows me, just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.” John 10:14

Jesus was on the move; he was searching, gathering, rescuing, and dealing with people that thought it required more to enter into the Kingdom of God. The Pharisees were people that got wrapped up in so much more than the Source it came from. Standing before them Jesus would teach in a way that would cause them to remember. Even as they heard words such as these they couldn’t understand. The Living God had been revealing His word to them since the beginning of time. But they couldn’t recognize the voice standing before them.

 “The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He leads me beside quiet water, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake.” Psalm 23: 1-3

 All along we have belonged to Jesus. The Rock has always stood the test of time. Scripture is the reminder of it being sweet and something we taste and see so that we can cling to our Rock.

“We are invited to lean back, look up, and open our mouths so the Living God, by the Spirit of God, and break it down to feed the people of God exactly what He has done for us in this moment.” (Kristi Mclleland)

The Bible is the invitation to see and hear the voice of our Father. It is how we can know the heart of God. The Living God desires to speak to each us and show us what paths to take. 

The Living God spoke to the people through prophets in the Old Testament but when Jesus came on the scene in the flesh He spoke to them in a way they could see. A shepherd was something they saw and sheep was something they knew but Jesus came so that they would know the voice of the Lord. So he could lead them. 

Hear His promise. I am your Shepherd. You lack nothing. Allow that promise to resonate over your heart and mind. We lack nothing because it has already been provided because of Jesus and the Holy Spirit in us is the reason to keep seeking, listening, and following Jesus. That refreshes our soul. That guides us along the right paths. All to Jesus I surrender.

Jesus,

You are our Good Shepherd. You know us. We belong to you alone. You speak to us so that we can know and recognize your voice. “My sheep know my voice, I know them, and they follow me.” Tune our ears to hear you voice. 

Amen
