Proverbs - Too Much of a Good Thing




Proverbs 25:16

Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.


Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.  Lusts are unbridled appetites.  Lust always asks for more and outside of the boundaries of self control.  We are told here that when we find something we enjoy we must stay very sober that we don’t take more than we should or we might just vomit from it.  The very thing that went down sweet will come up rancid.  If you sit down to eat something delicious, enjoy what is there and thank the Lord for it.  Don’t dream of seconds and what else is in the buffet.  Eat as much is sufficient for you.  If you find a hobby, enjoy it, but only spend the appropriate time in it or it will make you sick.  Anything we enjoy we should enjoy, but we must be cautious that a blessing doesn’t turn into bondage.
