Taste and See

Taste and See – Seventy

     The bible gives a wonderful statement about tasting and seeing that the Lord is good.  In fact the Bible is full of many illustrations about food.  The Lord obviously is a master chef.  He created so many different types of foods and plants to enjoy.  In fact this world has so many varieties that one could not cook or enjoy them all in a lifetime.  In fact they have chef and cooks coming up with new combinations all the time.  God is a God of great diversity. 

     In the Bible we learn how that Jesus fed the 5000 and 4000 with very little.  In fact one of the lessons we can learn today is that the Lord can take the little we have and make it much.  God is looking for you to give all you have and letting Him use it to make much.  The law of the harvest is such a great principle.  When we sow we can reap a harvest of 30, 60 and 100 fold.  When a farmer or gardener plants they are expecting a good harvest.  When you sow into the Lord`s work you should be cheerful about it and expect a harvest on your investment.

     The Lord is calling His people to invest in His Kingdom.  He is asking for our time , talents and resources to be available for His work.  Jesus promises that He will give us fruit that remains.  If we abide in Him and if His word abides in us we will be fruitful.  Remember He is the vine and we are the branches.  Our source is Him and we will bear much fruit because of Him.  So today give all you have and are to the Lord and He will use you to touch many for Him.  You will be like salt and flavour your world for the Lord.
