Leviticus 20 and that interesting phrase, "a land flowing with milk and honey". Superficially, that sounds alright. Milk is certainly not plentiful in most of the hot middle eastern countries and honey is quite nice but I think there is something more solid if we are to look at the spiritual picture. Ask yourself what milk and honey represent.
Firstly milk is nutritious and for many people a staple of everyday life. This can easily represent the nourishment we receive from God as we spend time with Him in prayer and Bible reading. Honey on the other hand never goes bad, it is not prone to bacteria or parasite which is why it is a useful food in these countries. For us, it is a reminder of testimony and how testimony cannot spoil.
I don't know about you but I love a life of nourishment and testimony, the land that God gives to those of us who follow Him unconditionally.
