Spoonful Of Sugar Read: Psalm 1.7-14 The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. . . . Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Psalm 19:9-10 Bible in a Year: 1 Samuel 27-29; Luke 13:1-22 Where is Mary Poppins when you need her? I know this sounds as if I'm longing for the good old days when cheerfully unrealistic movies featured characters like this fictional nanny, but what I'm really longing for are people with a vision for the future that is realistically optimistic. I yearn for joyful, creative people who can show us the positive side of what we consider negative, who can remind us that just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down. David wrote a song that expressed a similar truth. In his words, âthe judgments of the Lord are sweeter also than . . . honey (Ps. 19:9-10). Seldom do we hear that truth is sweet. More often we hear that it is bitter or hard to swallow. But truth is so much more than medicine to treat what's wrong. It's the diet that will prevent disease. It's not an inoculation or an injection. It's a gourmet meal that should be presented as a culinary delight, enticing the hungry to taste and see that the Lord is good (34.8. We sing Jesus is the sweetest name I know, but some of us present Him as if Hes gone sour. Pure truth, untainted by pride, is the sweetest, most refreshing taste of all to those who hunger for spiritual sustenance. And we have the privilege of serving it to a starving world. Jesus is the sweetest name I know, And Hes just the same as His lovely name, And that's the reason why I love Him so; Oh, Jesus is the sweetest name I know. The truth of the Lord endures forever. Psalm 117.2 |
