The sweets of the first earth are many. So much can give you a taste of His goodness.
If you have found honey, eat only enough for you, lest you have your fill of it and vomit it. Proverbs 25:16 ESV
Sometimes we taste outside of his design. Drink to get wasted. Smoke to get stoned. Just keep eating and eating. Color outside the lines of the best design with our lustful desires. Binge television until our eyes are bloodshot. With eyes bigger than our stomach we scoop and scoop and scoop and in doing so fill our plate from the buffet of American culture and ideals. Too much of honey will make you sick.
Lily Davies knows of the struggle, kindred soul stained by the sins committed in Eden:
Everything in moderation
Drugs, sex, gin and masturbation
Keep my vices on rotation
I don't swallow, I'm just tastin'
So be careful there winnie. Don't fall into the honeypot.
Do I want to live another day chasing after the honey when the beekeeper comes at an hour we do not know for His full and rightous harvest? Forgive me for wasting days by focusing on the temporal gifts of the first earth.
