Think about three of your favorite foods for just a moment…………..
On my list are grilled hogfish snapper, ice-cold watermelon and carrot cake with extra lemon juice in the cream cheese icing.
Ummmmm……
A meal including these foods would thrill my taste buds and tummy.
I’d even savor for hours just the memory of enjoying that meal.
Is this the kind of feeling you have after your Sunday worship experience?
Do you have this same measure of satisfaction after a time of Bible reading and focused prayer?
Please be honest.
Psalm 63:2-5 calls us to desire delicious times of devotion toward our Lord. I want to be more like the worshipper described in the words below:
“I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
“Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
“I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
“I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.”
How will your Father in heaven feel if you see your time with Him as tasty as a plate of your favorite food?
He’ll certainly love it.
There’s no question that He deserves your praise and mine ….. forever.
What joy it is to know that our focus in the next life won’t be to fill our stomachs with delicious food but instead to fill heaven’s throneroom with delicious praise!
For God’s love IS better than life.
As always, I love you
Martin
