 "And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey, and preached"

John's food is a prophetic lesson for those of us who endeavor to speak for God today  - for the locusts and honey were WILD  - untouched,  unspoiled, unblemished by man. He ate a steady diet that was provided by God himself   - and so must we today.  We must eat only that spiritual meat and drink that God provides for us  -  for man's words and ways are tainted, poisonous,  deadly to our faith and our call from God for they are full of unbelief. 
Indeed, in the wilderness we learn to rely on God completely to sustain us, so in times of famine or feasting we are well fed by The Lord's right hand.

Wild Honey

Wild honey, come and sweeten my lips
For you are only found in the wilderness. 
To partake of you I must forsake the ways of man
and journey deep into God's hinterland. 
But oh, the views!
that fill me with such delight! 
They alone are worth every sacrifice!
Oh wild honey!
You tastevso much better than
any food given by man!
Only the food that God provides 
can ever truly satisfy 
the deepest hunger i have inside  -
My hunger is for You, my God, and You alone
I long to be naked before You and whole  -
not just redeemed but restored 
to the abundant life You createdme for,
the life you modeled for me
OH GOD GIVE ME MY WILD HONEY!
