Ten Bees in the Land of Honey

When God promised “a land flowing with honey,” I wonder if the people thought that description all the way through? (Read Deuteronomy 6:3.)

The way I see it, where there is honey, there are also bees.

If God gave me a land flowing with honey, as much as I like honey, I would probably be harvesting the bee colonies often.

Here are ten “bees” that I would welcome as I collected my honey:

1. Be careful.  That goes almost without saying.

2. Be focused.  Distraction is the door to disaster.

3. Be clothed!  I would be wearing protective gear from head to toe.

4. Be fast.  I would take as little time as possible to get this job done.

5. Be wise.  I would find out the best way to harvest honey and implement it.

6. Be assisted.  I would not do this alone.  If I’m going to get stung, I don’t want to get stung alone!

7. Be prepared.  I would have a First Aid kit nearby.

8. Be prayerful.  I would definitely be praying…. with my eyes wide open!

9. Be hungry!  I would be ready to put some of this honey on a few hot homemade biscuits! 

And of course….

10. Be thankful!  Truly, through God’s gift of the Messiah, we are blessed.  We have every reason to be thankful.
