TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE

How sweet are Thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalms 119:103
​​
​Memorize this Verse: (Cover the verse text and using just the first letters of each word try to recite the entire passage.)
103. H S A T W U M T Y S T H T M M

Notes on this verse:

The word of God was like unadulterated milk, desirable by him, and like good wine, that goes down sweetly. Like good food, that is exceeding palatable; or like honey, and even sweeter than that, as follows. And that words “may be tasted and eaten”, is not only agreeable to Scripture language (Jer.15:16). 

“Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth”: Not only had they the nourishing nature and the refreshing virtue of honey, but the sweetness of it; yea, exceeded it in sweetness (see Psalm 19:10).

Have you ever had the sensation that the psalmist is speaking of here? He has read it so much, that it is sweetness to his inner most being. This reminds me of the book that John was told to eat, that was sweet in his mouth as honey. The sweetness of the Word, to me, is that as I study it, it seems to be so personal to me. It is so ageless, that it is current today. Look with me at what Jesus said about this.

Matthew 4:4 “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

We are to partake of the Word of God (Bible), as often as you would physical bread. The Word feeds the soul of man.
