Pour Some Honey On Me… The Bear Clause
There’s an expression
that some use in jest when trying to convey how tough or independent they are, “If you see me and a bear in a fight, pour
some honey on me and help the bear!”
If you saw the movie, the Revenant staring Leo DiCaprio, it brought you up close and personal
with what an encounter with a bear would be like; it doesn't appear to be
anything that we want to deal with in real life. Didn't see the Revenant? Well, what about
David? He spoke of having killed a lion and a bear as a part of his testimony to King Saul to be found worthy or valiant to go into battle to fight
Goliath.
God is sweet as the honey on the honeycomb… Sweeter in
fact! David admonishes us to taste and see that the Lord is good.
In our spirit
should be the same veracity, that as the Lord fights our battles, “To not worry
about me; because if you see me in a fight, just know that I have all the help
that I need – and it comes from the Lord.” It’s not cockiness but rather an assurance
from God that he is our strength and very present help, in our times for
trouble.
God doesn't need our help – in anything or anyway, shape or form. What he does require is that we have faith and trust in him to be God. Then move out of his way and stand on his Word
and watch it come to pass.
Our God is mighty
in battle and wants to show himself
strong on our behalf.
I’m sticky as can be… What about you?
