"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...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

A Chosen People

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God” (1 Peter 2:9). Like new born babies, craving pure spiritual milk, we hunger to grow more in our salvation, especially now that we have tasted that the Lord is good. Wouldn’t you agree? Once you have discovered that the Lord is good, and that you belong to Him, you want more, a lot more of Him! He who has chosen us has unleashed our desire to know more about Him and we develop this insatiable appetite to learn more about our King. So, as we come to Him, entering His gates, He who is the living stone – rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to Him – we also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house. We are His royal priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices to Him through His blessed Son, Jesus Christ. This spiritual house with its chief cornerstone, who is our precious Jesus, will never be put to shame. As a chosen generation, we are to live our lives before the world...
