What They Need
Pictures that illustrate Psalm 119:103
Request
A beautiful, calendar-worthy picture that reflects the truths of Psalm 119:103, “How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”
Details
Special Instructions:
- The picture should have enough “empty”, uncluttered space in it so words could be added on the picture somewhere.
- Though we would like the picture to complement or illustrate the Bible verse as much as possible, it is fine for the photo to have more of a sense of a nature scene.
- In addition to what you come up with creatively on your own, here are some ideas of things that could be used to illustrate this concept: honey dripping off a honey dipper, honey comb, honey bee sipping honey, a frame of honeycomb in a bee hive, a beekeeper working in a bee hive or extracting honey, honey being dribbled on to a piece of bread, Biblical-era utensils relating to the use of honey in a Biblical-era atmosphere.
