2nd Chronicles 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall you be established; believe his prophets, so shall you prosper.
Not only does much information come from the prophets of God, but the health industry is full of instructions as to how we can avoid or stave off health problems. Take for instance the Scriptural instruction given on the eating of sweets, to help in preventing diabetes and sweet diseases that have become so rampant in our day, and which now have persons looking to GLPs as a savior in many instances. As the bible says, we are going to study line upon line and precept upon precept.
Proverbs 24: 13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste…. Proverbs 25:16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest you be filled therewith, and vomit it…. Proverbs 25:27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
When taken together as a whole, the three passages declare that honey is good, but it should be taken in quantities that are warranted, and then the warning is given about overindulgence in sweets. The word “vomit” refers to the adverse effects it will have on the one who overindulges in sweets. And then the prophets amplify that which Solomon wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit so that we can have a broader understanding of the issues of prevention and cure. No need to demonize honey as if it can troll us without our choice in the matter.
1st Corinthians 9: 25 And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
