LET IT BE AN ADVENTURE It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep. Proverbs 25:27 Today’s generation won’t remember this, but people used to listen to the radio all day, hoping to hear a disk jockey play their favorite new song. When the familiar melody began… what joy! People would immediately sing along and begin waiting for the next time it came over the airwaves. Now people listen to favorite songs whenever they want to on their iPhone’s “favorites” playlists. But isn’t it a little boring to get what you want, anytime you want it? It was better when the song was a surprise and the joy was spontaneous. Today’s Scripture reads, “It is not good to eat too much honey.” But in today’s we-can-have-it-now culture, that’s just what we do. No wonder so many people find life boring. Even Christians! It’s why the Bible repeats over and over, “Wait on the Lord.” Let good things come in His timing. Withhold a little self-gratification; trust in His goodness and provision…and life will always be an adventure. Father, what sweet gifts You deliver, often totally unexpected. Like the days when I suddenly feel Your smile, on no special occasion and for no particular reason, shining down on me out of a gray sky. The good I hoped for may be delayed or withheld, but the good You give me in Your timing and wisdom is even better still. Copyright © 2026 Joni and Friends |
