This is the Key of the Kingdom...

Rich, dark comb honey from my mentor extraordinaire

Jen,

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

Proverbs 24:13-14 KJV

 

Lots of biblical references to honey. I think about how saturated we are with "sweet." How, 3000 years ago, in that culture, they had only natural sweet...figs, dates and honey. (Thus giving rise to the expression "I want a date with my honey..." but I digress.)

Can we appreciate how special honey must have been to them, with so little concentrated "sweet" available in their lives? It must have been extremely valuable. Then to compare it to wisdom.

Now, information has increased; we are saturated with data. But wisdom is still rare and precious. Like the honey you guard selfishly.
