"Taste and see..."

"Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him" (Psalm 34:8).

I am thinking as we witness for the LORD, we are not unlike those who strategically station themselves in the aisles of many of the popular grocery stores offering free samples of Hill Country sausage bites, fancy party dips, fresh crab salad on a cracker, and other irresistible, good food stuff. Like these friendly "servers" are doing for their employers, we say to a friend or to a complete stranger; "Taste and see that the LORD is good." We offer these; whom we believe don't know the LORD as their personal savior our suggestion they get to know Jesus by "sampling" His Word by reading the Bible, or attending church with us, or listening to one of our favorite Christian message cd's. We offer them their opportunity to get to know this wonderful Savior of ours so they too can experience the joy and reassurance of their salvation just like we have. We offer to share our LORD by offering them a taste.

(Song of Songs 2:3) proclaims; "...His fruit is sweet to my taste." And, (Psalm 119:2,3) says, "How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth." If we are faithful messengers of His Word, disciples of Jesus, we postion ourselves before others ready to tell them about He who came to this world to save it. We kindly offer others to just a sample His goodness and see for themselves how good He is!

"Oh, just taste and see!" Amen.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

Get Out Of Your Boat

In (Matthew 14:25) Jesus had told the disciples to get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side of the lake. The Bible says; He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. The wind was strong that night and the waves buffeted the small boat, tossing it to and fro. It would have been a frightening time to be out on the water; especially that late at night. The men in the boat trembled with fear, and when they saw Jesus walking out to them on the water they thought He was a ghost. Jesus assured them it was He and they should not be afraid. Peter, one of the disciples, said, “Lord, if it’s You, tell me to come to You on the water!” Jesus told him, “Come.” Peter stepped out of the boat, walked toward Jesus, but when he saw the wind; the Bible says, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Peter’s faith was strong, at first. He was walking on the top of the waves just as Jesus was, but the moment he allowed himself to think rationally instead of t...

THIS IS A SPECIAL POSTING. PLEASE READ!

In addition to my daily message today, this is something very special I believe the Lord wants me to post right now! Help Me Overcome My Unbelief! As a Christian, I believe God loves me and wants the best for me. Certainly, in His Word (Psalm 103:3 NIV) the Psalmist wrote; Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits – who forgives all your (my) sins and heals all your (my) diseases, who redeems your (my) life from the pit…. I know this, really I do! Still, there are times when I don’t see God actually doing what I expect Him to do; to save me from my trouble; to provide me with what I want; and to provide the healing release I expect. Before I became a Christian I really had a problem with faith, much less be able to cling to any promises God made to me; regardless of whether I was a Christian or not! Therefore, I understand how we can have moments of unbelief, or we can just flat out not trust what God has promised us. This is Satan at work, big time !  “Get...
