They are more precious than gold, 
than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, 
than honey from the comb. 
By them indeed Your servant is warned; 
in keeping them is great reward.
Psalms 19:10-11 BSB
What is it that is more precious than gold and sweeter than honey?
God's words. 
Law
Testimony
Precepts
Commandments
Judgements
When I think of these things gold and honey are not the first things that come to mind!
Just maybe I'm looking at them wrong...and the big advantage I have, we have, is that Jesus arrived and said that he is the fulfillment of these things. 
Jesus who is light, life, love, the sacrificial servant, the healer, the way, the advocate, the one who fed the hungry, set people free...and how did he summarise all these things?
Love God
Love people
God's words are gold. 
They are the sweetness of honey found after searching...may we let David's song remind us of that because they are the words of our God who loves us, loves you, who has chosen you, adopted you.
May we let His words warn us, because our hearts will take us in all kinds of directions, and may we find our reward in Him...

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
