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

Dear Fellowship of the Burning Heart:

The other day I saw a commercial showing a man being encouraged to try almond milk. The man says he doesn’t want to because he doesn’t know how it tastes. The argument that he hasn’t tried it and he might like it isn’t convincing at first.

The invitation stands in Scripture about a relationship with God. Try it and see. Many criticize things about which they have no experience. Take it for a drive, kick the tires, look under the hood. Others have tasted and found it both satisfying and addicting.

Psalm 119:103 NIV
How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!

My grandmother used to say, ” I hope you brought your appetite.” Spiritual craving is about recognizing appetite, but it is also about recognizing what will satisfy it. Developing a taste for the nutritious foods that provide nourishment to the body takes time. I now enjoy many foods for which I had no taste as a youth, and some that I formerly loathed. Are you willing to develop a spiritual appetite? If you wait too long to eat, you may be overcome by a spiritual craving. Be careful not to seek to satisfy it with that which can’t.

Isaiah 55:1-2 NIV
“Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
