He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock. | ||
| Deuteronomy 32:13 | ||
| In Israel, bees make their honeycombs, and olive trees take root in crevasses, or fissures, in the rocks. Therefore, what would seem to be an unproductive place actually produces sweetness and sustenance. “I’m on the rocks,” we cry. “This is it. I’m through.” And yet God would say, “There’s honey and oil in those rocks, for in them you will discover sweetness you never knew about, empowering and anointing you never would have experienced.” If you’re between a rock and a hard place, take hope, dear saint, for it is there you will find honey and oil, sweetness and sustenance for your journey.
