[13] My son, eat honey, for it is good,
and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
[14] Know that wisdom is such to your soul;
if you find it, there will be a future,
and your hope will not be cut off.
(Proverbs 24:13-14 ESV)
Most of us like honey. It is sweet and natural, adding to pleasure in life. Here it is compared to wisdom. Wisdom adds hope to life. Through God's perspective, found in His Word, we are able to see beyond the temporal temptations, as well as life's setbacks, to see what is real, important, and lasting. In short, we can live life in realistic hope if we live by wisdom. In a very real sense, without wisdom we will find ourselves without hope. Let's eat some honey, get some wisdom today, and see what God has in store.
