Have you ever tried something new? Tried a new product or eaten something you hadn't before?
As a kid, it was something my mom added to dinner and didn't tell us until we were done eating. As I got older, I just wanted to be different, to expand my horizons, or to see if this craze actually had teeth, I mean taste.
So how can you know that you do or don't like something if you have never tried it for yourself? How often do we form opinions and ideas of things based on what others have said? Do you have opinions of things based on what others have said only? I have.
I love food! I will try anything twice. TWICE?? Yes. Just in case the first time I tried it was an off day or maybe it was made the wrong way. I could say I don't like squid. The first time I tried it, it was cold! Yuck! The next time, warm. YUM!
"Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see how good God is. Blessed are you who run to Him."
-Psalm 34:8 The Message
Do you have an opinion or idea about God that maybe is based on what other people have said or done? Have you given Him a taste? Have you tried Him on for size?
"'I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out - plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen. When you come looking for me, you'll find me. I'll make sure you won't be disappointed.' God's Decree."
-Jeremiah 29:11-14a The Message
Maybe you need to do something different, expand your horizons, see if what everybody says is true. God won't disappoint! He knows what is best for us, if we will give Him the opportunity too. Maybe you need to give God a taste, or maybe you need to give Him a second try.
All I can say is that I have NEVER been disappointed by Him.
