Sweet Tooth

Read:
Psalm 119:97-104

How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! —Psalm 119:103

Bible In One Year: Mark 11-13

The woman must have had a major chocolate craving! She stopped at a Woolworth's store in London and asked for every Mars bar in stock. She paid cash for 10,656 candy bars. Nobody bothered to ask why she wanted so many, but one person jokingly said, "Perhaps she has a sweet tooth."

The psalmist had a "sweet tooth" too—for something far more healthy than chocolate. He loved the Word of God and found it "sweeter than honey" to his taste (Psalm 119:103).

How can we develop our spiritual tastebuds so that we have a strong craving for the sweetness of God's Word?

Read the Word. It may seem obvious, but you have to read the Word if you're going to learn to love it as the psalmist did. Set aside a few minutes each day and read a passage. Think about the words, their meaning and context.

Reflect on the Word. Jot down a verse and carry it with you. Look at it often during the day. Follow the psalmist's example and make it your "meditation all the day" (v.97).

Apply the Word. Ask God what He wants you to understand and how to apply it to your life that day.

God's Word will give you a "sweet tooth" and always satisfy it. —Anne Cetas

Upon Thy Word I rest, so strong, so sure;
So full of comfort blest, so sweet, so pure,
Thy Word that changest not, that faileth never!
My King, I rest upon Thy Word forever. —Havergal

A well-read Bible is a sign of a well-fed soul.

Little Green Apples
Roger Miller

.....And if that's not loving me, then all i've got to say,
God didn't make the little green apples,
and it don't rain in indianapolis in the summer time.
And there's no such thing as dr. seuss or disney land and mother goose, no nursery rhymes.

God didn't make the little green apples, and it don't rain in indianapolis in the summer time. And when myself is feeling low, i think about her face and go and ease my mind......

Green, eh?

I'm kinda partial towards red, white and blue myself, but looks like you've got a fun thread again.

Had a friend who worked on one of those Jolly Green Giant farms a long time ago.
