Words of Sweetness

In a world that often speaks in noise and haste, God’s voice remains a quiet sweetness — a steady whisper that nourishes the soul. The painting Words of Sweetness draws us into this sacred stillness. With the bear as its centerpiece — strong, watchful, and gentle — we are reminded that divine wisdom doesn’t roar; it rests, it guides, it gently leads.

 Just as honey is drawn from the labor of bees, so wisdom is drawn from attentiveness to God. It is not rushed or forced but gathered with care, hidden in moments of reflection and trust. As we gaze upon the earthy, flowing expressive forms of this artwork, we are invited to find peace in God’s design — to taste His wisdom and know it is good. In every season, His words offer sweetness to counter bitterness, hope to pierce despair, and direction when the path seems unclear.

Let this day be one of listening. Let your heart lean into the quiet words of God. For in His wisdom, there is not only sweetness — there is a future.

Scripture Insight:  Proverbs 24:13–14 (NIV) – “Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste. Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.”

Quiet Prayer:  Lord, Your wisdom is sweet to my soul. In Your guidance, I find strength and rest. Teach me to seek You in the stillness, to trust You in the unknown, and to delight in the beauty of Your words. Let Your wisdom shape my life and fill my heart with hope. Amen.
