honey in Deuteronomy 31
HUN-ee
This thing shows up in Deuteronomy 31:20: “For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Deuteronomy 31:20
“For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat; then they will turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.”
What kids can learn
When you hear honey in Deuteronomy, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Deuteronomy 31:20 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
