Steven ask:
Could you explain more?

Honey;
Lev 20:24  But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give
it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD
your God, which have separated you from other people.
*Separated folk eat the best of the land.* Isa 1:19  If ye be willing and
obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Job 29:6  When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of
oil;
*When we are guided by the Word of God we will have the best.*
Isa 1:19  If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Isa 7:15  Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and
choose the good.
*I believe this is talking about the Lord, wouldn't butter be the best of the
milk?*
Aren't we from a land flowing with milk and honey?
Eph 2:19  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but
fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
 *My citizenship is in heaven.*

Deu 32:13  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;
isn't honey here a good thing?
"flowing with milk and honey" (Ex. 3:8).
"sweeter than honey" (Psa. 19:10).
"you ate honey" (Ezek. 16:13).

Your servant for Jesus sake,
