An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Just a Taste

(Psa 34:8 KJV)  O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

(Proverbs 4 also read)

I worship in the morning to start my day by coming into contact with Almighty God.  He meets me.  He is faithful.  I, of course, go through different emotional states and mental conditions.  My attitude is not always perfect.  That should be obvious to all of us.

I also am aware, or made aware, that God is infinitely beyond me.  My hope is based on the revelation of Jesus, and that through Him we can know God.  Still, as wonderful as that is, as a mortal human it is impossible for me to even begin to approach the infinite nature of God.

Then David suggests that we don’t run off into the sunset crying and weeping over this reality.  What we are to do is “taste” (2398) and “see” (7200) the nature of God.

So?  When they tell you that you can only have one piece of cake, do you turn in disgust and walk away?  No.  You enjoy that piece of cake.  You understand without it being said that if there is any left tomorrow, you may get another piece.  And of course, in eternity, you may get the whole thing.
