Well, on the map, we have one last night in Texas and then will finally be in Louisiana. Today I rode 35.4 miles in 1 hour and 53 minutes for an average of 18.7 mph and end the day at just over 20 miles west of the Loisiana State line. With all that has gone on it seems like for ever since we first entered west Texas on the map.
Yesterday was the last portion of Scripture that I wanted to think about in John 15. So tonight I would like to Look at one verse, Psalm 34 and verse 8, "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him." The first thing the Psalmist says is to taste --- that the Lord is good. Remember when you were young and you were pursuaded to taste something that you just knew would not "taste" good. You might try and stick your tongue out and get the smallest amount of the mixture on your tongue as you could. That is what so many people try and do with the Lord - get the smallest taste they possibly can on the tip of their heart. The amazing thing is that you do not need a big gulp to find out the Lord is good.
Then, that is where so christians stop and are satisfied with that. They got a little taste of how good the Lord is and do not want to go any further. The thing though is that with a taste a decsion needs to be made. Does He taste good to you or not. Too many taste with a mind that is already made up. I can hear them now, "See, I told you I was not going to like Him. I knew He would not be good to me." So they move away from the table and don't want to ever taste Him again. Some even try to spit the taste out without ever swallowing. Then they can not understand how you can like that stuff that comes with knowing Him (getting a good taste of Him). Far too many then, never even get a taste. Want to know if someone has tasted that the Lord is good; ask them how He tasted.
Talk to you tomorrow!
