“Honey is tasteless to a person who is full, but even the bitter food seems sweet to the hungry.” Proverbs 27:7 Honey is tasteless to a person who is full – I think that sometimes when we are greatly blessed, we are full metaphorically. Life is sweet and we are content. There is no hunger. And sometimes, this is the time when we forget the sweetness of God. Or rather, perhaps the sweetness of God falls on satisfied tastebuds and is not remembered. Rather we forget how wonderful His gifts are. BUT, then there comes a time when we are in times of refinement, and although it is a bitter pill to swallow, it is sweet to know that God is working to make us more like Him (yeah, sounds great in theory, right – but it’s a lot harder in practice!). As we hunger to learn and to know Him better, the bitterness of our circumstances is made a little sweeter.
