1st Peter 2:1-3 NLT
It's the beginning of Thanksgiving week in the US. I love reading the thankful/gratitude/blessing posts on social media that are plentiful during the month of November. And I wonder why we can't be grateful and not hateful the other 11 months of the year.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, people are talking about their favorite recipes and planning their menus. I like learning people's thoughts on what makes a certain food THE recipe for their holiday meal. And I wonder if we like them so much and we drool like Pavlov's dogs when we think of them, why is it we only fix those dishes on specific holidays? Would it not taste as good on say, any given Tuesday? Just wondering why they're not on the daily menu.
Have you ever tasted a better recipe for a favorite food and decided from that one taste that you would never go back to the old way of doing it? Never settle for anything less? In fact, anything less is such a disappointment that you'd almost rather do without than settle.
What does this have to do with our Promise for Today? Well, as I see it, God has offered us His salvation, a better recipe for living this life. Do we only serve Him on Easter and Christmas? Only when we attend a church service? If we've tasted of the Lord's kindness, don't we want it on our daily menu?
Prayer:
Father,
Change our hearts and our desires, O Lord. Help us to get rid of all evil behavior. Be done with all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all unkind speech. Help us to walk in forgiveness and develop a lifestyle of forgiveness. Strongly, remind us of the taste of the Lord's kindness, so that we settle for nothing less than the best. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
