SWEETER THAN HONEY

Oh, how many of us love sweets!  Birthdays bring cakes frosted with clouds of icing, topped with scoops of ice cream.  Of course, sometimes we enjoy them too much and pay weighty consequences….

In Psalm 119:103 we read, “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”  Don’t pass up on the richness of God’s love and the sweetness of His peace.  Indulge your spirit in God’s house of worship.  Faith in Him will satisfy you without any side effects! – By Keister-Williams

 ENCOURAGEMENT

It’s easy to smile at a cheerful person, but how much greater the blessing to try to cheer up a discouraged or angry person. Joyfulness is contagious! Paul writes in his letter to the Romans (1:1-12), “For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each others faith, both yours and mine.” Share your joy with others at your house of worship this week; God will smile on you!
