HONEY FROM THE ROCK He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. Psalm 81:16 When I think of a rock I think of a hard object. Rocks can be dangerous. But rocks can also be positive. Some people collect rocks. We talk of something being “rock solid” when we mean something is good or strong. Here God is promising to provide for us not just with a mediocre amount, but with the finest wheat He has. He says He can bring honey from a rock – mirroring the truth of Him bringing water to the parched Israelities from a rock in the desert. We have all tasted honey. It’s sweet. Here God is saying that from the difficult times in our lives He is making something sweet. When we go through trials it may feel like nothing good will ever come out of it. It may feel like the rock overpowers our lives, but God is using the rocks in our lives to not just produce honey for us, but for many others as well. When life seems hopeless and desperate we have only to cling to Him and His promises. TEA TIME One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me and my brother, who is four years older than I am. I was maybe one and a half years old and had just recovered from an accident in which my arm had been broken, among other injuries. Someone had given me a little tea set as a get-well gift, and it was one of my favorite toys. Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news and my brother was playing nearby in the living room when I brought Daddy a little cup of "tea," which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my mom came home. My dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was "just the cutest thing!" My mom waited, and sure enough, here I came down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watched him drink it up. She then asked, "Did it ever occur to you that the only place that baby can reach to get water is the toilet?" Answers: # 4 – Exodus 4:14, and knight mare.

First Question: You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in? Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second! Try not to mess up in the next question. To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took on the first question. Second Question: If you overtake the last person, then you are...? Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?! You're not very good at this are you? Third Question: Very tricky math! Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it. Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total? Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100. Don't believe it? Check your calculator! Today is definitely not your day. Maybe you will get the last question right? Fourth Question: Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2 Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter? Answer: Nunu? NO!
