taste and see

Taste and see that the Lord is good. How happy is the man who takes refuge in Him! Psalms 34:8 HCSB
https://bible.com/bible/72/psa.34.8.HCSB

Do you remember being asked, "do you want a taste?" An apple pie, a cheesecake, fresh scones, or ever a taste stew or curry. Tasting usually comes with delight, enjoyment and refreshing.

Image yourself in a place of devestation.  Your home is bombed out and you are not the run from your enemies, but you put your faith in the Lord. You stop momentarily for refreshing, of your spirit. You remind yourself to draw from the wells of salvation. Who is on your side?

This is what David does. He is on the run from Saul, goes to Gath,  the home of Goliath, the giant he slew, seeking refuge. It is a sad day when you must do this. Yet,  in the midst of this David reminds himself that His strength comes from the Lord! What a man!

We have volcanoes erupting, earthquakes, wars and rumours of war, but God has a plan. Seek Him!

I had another dream last night. Scene 1: I was about to be trained to be a hairdresser. I wanted to buy a dress and my friend Suzy told me she bought her clothes at Long Jetty (a place on the Central Coast Australia). She warned me that hairdressing was hard work, it was hard on the arms. Scene 2: I was at home cooking bacon and getting ready.(no clue here, I rarely do this) Scene 3: I was fellowshipping with either Baptist or Anglican folk. They ran a Christian school. A man, who was a snake whisperer,  (dreams can be crazy) at the Christian school, comes to me and asks me to open a bank. The leaders of the school said that there was a time that this man was expected to teach Ag but now he could devout himself full time to his speciality, snake whispering. I remembered there was a time that I wanted to open a bank but now was studying and on a different path. I went to Angela Merkel  for advice. She told me that the same man had wanted her to invest $150,000 and sell her house to invest. I was horrified. We had a good chat and I left with an impression that if I believed God was in it, I might do it. I went back to the church and many people were also interested. I was now in a dilemma, what should I do?

Who would trust a snake whisperer? Remember wisdom. Don't be pushed by anyone's opinion, need or inclination. What has God called you to do? Stay with that. Amen!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
