A person who is full refuses honey, but even bitter food tastes sweet to the hungry.

Proverbs 27:7

Am I too famished on the sweet things of this world to desire the sweet things offered by God?

Being full of the world leaves us unable to experience the fullness of God.

Charles Spurgeon wrote this about the sweetness of Jesus.

“Sweet is liberty to the captive, and when the Son makes you free, you are free indeed; sweet is pardon to the condemned, and proclaims full forgiveness and salvation; sweet is health to the sick, and Jesus is the great physician of souls; sweet is light to those who are in darkness and to eyes that are dim, and Jesus is both sun to our darkness and eyes to our blindness.”

Sweet is

• liberty to the captive, and when the Son makes you free, you are free indeed;
• pardon to the condemned, and proclaims full forgiveness and salvation; 
• health to the sick, and Jesus is the great physician of souls;
• light to those who are in darkness and to eyes that are dim.

Reverence for the LORD is pure, lasting forever. The laws of the LORD are true; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb.
Psalm 19:9-10

Taste and see that the LORD is good.
Psalm 34:8a

King Hezekiah collected many of Solomon’s proverbs and he ordered the Levites to use the psalms of David and Asaph.

Famish myself only on the things of God.
