Psalms 119:103 How sweet are thy words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Yesterday I was busy in front of the stove making marmalade and bottling in preparation for using and selling the marmalade. Now I do not like marmalade and I know it is done properly when it gets to the point where the constituency and taste is correct. I know this because I do not like the taste and so knowing the taste I do not like I know it is then just right. This may sound unusual but true.
When we think about this we may be surprised at how many things we do that we do not like works the same way. We need to experience both the good and the bad to know the difference, we need to both experience the sweet and the bitter to understand the flavours both of taste and of life. It is through this experience that we draw conclusions of what we enjoy and do not, and what brings diversity into all that we do and those that we meet.
Also we need to understand that life has many flavours, yet we may enjoy these as long as we understand the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. The flavour does not change the values we may have, so we need to discern this and know its alright to enjoy the bitterness of marmalade on occasion, and the sweetness of apricot jam on another. We simply cannot live on the one alone, this applies to all things that we do.
Be encouraged today to enjoy the flavours of life.
Point to ponder: God gave us the gift of taste.
Question to consider: Do you enjoy the taste for life?
