Life sometimes throws you curves, it puts a bad taste in your mouth. Sometimes life is just plain hard. I have had one of those weeks, one where you have 1 victory and what seems to be a thousand defeats. I thank the Lord for this Pursuit study especially the one that we read last night. Psalm 119:103-"How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!!" What a great truth to be reminded of in the midst of trials and tests, that His words, the very words of God to man put that sweet taste back into our mouths. Yes we will cry and yes there will be hard times, sorrow and grief are realities in life, but the promise of this verse changes us into those that grieve but not without hope.
When you are having those tough times and discouragement seems to abound, remember that you can view those things through one of two lights, the way the world grieves, without hope, or as those who have a risen, victorious King, who sometimes leads His children into the desert so that they may lean all that more on His strength, and trust deeper in His providence.
Today may you read and taste the words of the Lord and may they put that good, sweet taste back into your mouth, that God is good above and in all.
LOVE GOD LOVE PEOPLE
