IT'S ALL IN THE TASTE
Some TASTEs, no matter how hard you try, never escape your consciousness. ItÂ’s almost as though you keep reliving that experience whether it was good or bad. ItÂ’s as though the TASTE is still in your mouth. Then of course there are some foods that you only have to see or smell them before your mouth begins to water in anticipation of the TASTE that is yet to come. Our FF for today is ITÂ’S ALL IN THE TASTE.
Do not for one moment underestimate the power of TASTE. In fact, it is true to say that all of our other senses are impacted by what we TASTE. We can see something and if we don’t pay close attention to it, we can easily forget what it looked like. We can touch something and because the skin is the biggest organ of the body at the end of the day we can’t recall who touched us or what we touched. Hundreds of smells surf across our noses – some are pleasant while others leave our noses turned up. Our ears are bombarded with sound waves carrying from the most pleasing of music to deafening noise. But somehow none of these appear to have as forceful an impact as TASTE. Why?
Could it be that when we TASTE we ingest. When we TASTE we come in direct contact with what we’ve tasted. We’ve consumed it. So we have no choice but to form a judgment – either good or bad. When we TASTE we eat, we drink. In a real sense then that which we TASTE becomes a direct part of our very being. Naturally when we TASTE and find that what we tasted is pleasurable we desire more. In similar fashion when something is distasteful it is normal to do all in our power to avoid it. But that is not always the case because our TASTE can change over time. In the end if one repeatedly ingests that which is distasteful it is only a matter of time before bitter becomes sweet, disgusting becomes attractive and what is toxic poison becomes harmless. IT’S ALL IN THE TASTE so watch what you’re tasting.
TASTE causes us to see and know for ourselves. Yet there are so many people who have formed an opinion in life about things that they’ve never tasted for themselves. They based their conviction because of the TASTE of others. Today I challenge you, to TASTE for yourself. But the challenge is not to TASTE the pleasures of sin, not the pain of rejection, not the shame of being exposed for confessing one thing and living another – but to TASTE and see for yourself just how good God is. Psalm 34: 8 extends this invitation – TASTE and see that the Lord is good.
Till next Friday, recognize that ITÂ’S ALL IN THE TASTE. Experience for yourself, TASTE for yourself the goodness of God. IÂ’ve tasted and others have too and weÂ’re yet to say anything other than what the psalmist declared: TASTE and see just how good God is. YouÂ’ve tasted so many other things in life that that have poisoned your system and maybe slowly killing you. Why not TASTE something different today. Have a TASTE of GOD and see for yourself just how good God is. Remember ITÂ’S ALL IN THE TASTE.
