Michele Saxman PROVERBS 25
HIGHLIGHTED VERSES / Proverbs 25:27-28 ESV
It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it glorious to seek one's own glory. A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.
Maybe you can relate to this Winnie the Pooh-esque, whole-fist-in-the- honey-jar approach to life. I know I can. As silly as the image is, if you have been in that place, having stuffed your flesh far past its fill, you know the shame and embarrassment that lies in that state. There is a beautiful goodness in self-control, living in a way that makes room for satisfaction, makes room for the word "enough." Our God is a God that knows when to rest and when to be satisfied. He knew when to look at His creation, call it "very good," and stop to enjoy His work. We are designed in that image, made to feel satisfaction and fullness, freed from the huffing and puffing pursuit of more.
