Read Proverbs 25:16

Read Proverbs 25:16  Do you like candy?  What kind of candy do you like?  Eating candy is like eating dessert.  You can't live on candy alone and you can't live on dessert alone.  You have to eat vegetables and meat and real food in order to get to the last part of the meal, the dessert.  Dessert is special because we have it last.  We have to wait in order to have it.  A piece of cake is great at the end of a good meal.  But could you imagine eating a piece of cake instead of eating your salad?  Then, could you imagine eating another piece of cake instead of eating green beans?  Then eating a third piece of cake instead of eating mashed potatoes?  Then eating a fourth piece of cake instead of eating chicken nuggets? Then eating a fifth piece of cake for dessert?  A whole meal of just cake would make you sick.  Our verse reminds us that too much of a good thing is not good.  If you find honey, eat just enough of it to satisfy your sweet tooth.  If you eat too much of a good thing may not be a good thing.  It may make you sick, just like too much cake may make you sick.  The word to remember is moderation.   Moderation means not too much; not too little; just the right amount.
