“And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey.” (Mark 1:6)
If we live long enough, one thing we learn is that life can be both bitter and sweet. Life will bring us both joy and pain. A recent study indicated that “culturally, although more Americans view pain as a misfortune, many still perceive it as a sign of weakness.” John the Baptist understood the value of eating both honey and locust. He understood that pain was a necessary part of life. There was the sweetness of the honey, but the locust provided him with the necessary protein needed. Life has its honey and life has its locusts. Yea, life has its sweetness, and life has its wounds…not wounds that weaken but wounds that strengthen.” (Maurice McCarthy) Lord, help us to be grateful for the locusts just as much as we are for the honey.
