How to Get Honey from the Rock

"Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!...He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat; and with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you" (Psalm 81:13, 16 NKJV).
I think it is important that every once in awhile I remind you, my faithful readers, why this daily Bible study exists. We created "Honey from the Rock" so that you can get "Sweet Stuff from God's Word" every day - seven days a week. These thoughts come directly from my daily meditation upon God's Word and I hope they are a blessing to you.
Read the entire 81st psalm sometime. God was so good to Israel. He gave them manna from heaven and water from a rock. But if they had consistently listened to Him, and would have always walked in His ways, he would have given them something better than manna - the finest of wheat; and more than water, He would have given them honey from the rock! Isn't God good to you? If you want wheat and honey, God will give it to you - if you spend time in His Word and "hear His voice in every line." Then put it into practice - walk in His ways, do what He says. And "honey from the rock" will be yours in abundance!
Song: There stands a Rock, on shores of time, that rears to heav'n its head sublime/That rock is cleft, and they are blest who find within this cleft a rest/Some build their hopes on the ever-drifting sand; some on their fame or their treasure or their land/Mine's on the Rock that forever shall stand, Jesus the 'Rock of Ages' (S. S. Journal).
