Sweet Success Starts with Wisdom

Proverbs 24:13-14 (NLT)  My child, eat honey, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste. In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, you will have a bright future, and your hopes will not be cut short.

Honey is a powerful food. Not only is it sweet, but also it has healthy attributes and has been used through the ages to treat various aliments. Its sweetness is not open for debate. Once tasted, no arguments can be set forth to convince you otherwise.

Exactly like The Truth, right? Well, not exactly: many have grown up around beehives, honeycombs, various containers of honey – even been schooled “in honey” – but have not actually tasted the honey. Silly. It’s a picture, however, of many who have been schooled in religion but never tasted the sweetness of Christ.

“Tasting” Wisdom is a life-altering experience – it sweetens the soul; brightens the future, and secures your hope. That kind of success attracts – even in the workplace. Are you attractive?
