WILD HONEY

Wild honey
His food was locusts and wild honey. Matthew 3:4 NIV
Did I know you?
Did I know you even then?
Before the clocks kept time
Before the world was made
Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even at my mother's breast. From birth I was cast on you; from my mother's womb you have been my God. Psalm 22:9-10 NIV

Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place. Psalm 51:6 NIV

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.... My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Psalm 139:13-15 NIV

Jesus: "Father! Give me glory in your presence now, the same glory I had with you before the world was made." John 17:5 GNB
From the cruel sun
You were shelter
​You were my shelter and my shade
You have been... a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat.... the heat of the desert. Isaiah 25:4-5 NIV

They’ll see that you... provide a cool place when it’s hot.... shelter from the storm and shade from the sun. Isaiah 25:1-5 MSG

You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shade of the Almighty, Say to the Lord, "My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust." Psalm 91:1-2 NABRE
