Good Honey

I saw an article last week about some bees in France that had produced blue and green honey.  At first the bee keepers were alarmed at the colored honey but discovered the source of the strange event.  The bees had been feeding on waste from an M&M factor.  The blue and green was a result of the bees feeding on the candy coating shells from the M&M’s.  Blue and green honey may sound like it would be kind of fun, but for the beekeepers this was a major problem because the honey was actually contaminated with toxins and not sellable.

 

It profited them nothing.

What you feed on will directly affect what you produce.  This is true for your body as well as for your spirit.  Sometimes it might sound fun, but does it profit anything?

 

John 6:27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”

John 6:54-56 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.

Many times we get caught up with the cares of this world.  Instead of feeding on Jesus and the Word, we labor for food which will perish and we feed on things of this world.  Jesus told us that the Father knows that we need these things, but that we should not seek them.  That if we would seek first the Kingdom of God, that God would provide these things.

Matthew 6:31-33 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

If we put good in, we will get good out. 

If we put evil in, we will get evil out. 

Proverbs 4:20-22 

My son, give attention to my words;

Incline your ear to my sayings.

Do not let them depart from your eyes;

Keep them in the midst of your heart;

For they are life to those who find them,

And health to all their flesh.

God’s Word produces the “good” honey
