All of us to an extent have a sweet tooth. We all have a favorite candy or something that we desire that satisfies that sweet tooth. The altar of incense paved the way for the priest to offer up before God something sweet smelling that was pleasing to him. Christ was our sweet smelling savour, our sweet smelling offering. His Sweetness can’t be matched!

All of us have a taste for something. Whether it be pizza, steak, or sweets, or something else, we all have a particular taste for something. The Bible tells us to taste and see that the Lord is good. To consume all that we can of the Lord and to trust him. To take all that we can in and see how a good He really is!

People long to be held. A hug gives so much to a hurting person - they feel secure again. They feel wanted and welcome. The importance of human touch was exemplified in the life of Christ. He remained in physical contact with so many. And it made all the difference.

Our vision with time begins to fade but as a Christian, our Spiritual vision can become even more clear with age. Try closing your eyes and see and beyond what your physical eyes can see and I believe you will be helped.

It’s not that we can’t hear; it’s that we don’t listen. God has spoken but are we truly listening to what he has to say. Many times we are so anxious to talk and give our opinion that we’re not really listening to the truth. Maybe it’s time we kept silent and let the Spirit say to the church what needs to be said.

Finding our way through this life can be very difficult. But with the right navigator and with the right directions, we can make it. Maps can help us around this world and the technology in the GPS that we have in our phones can help us go from place to place. But to navigate life, we need the God positioning system which is the only true GPS.

Mann rarely pays attention to the little details of life but with God, the little things really matter. And we consider all that God has created, we would think that he would use the Majestic things to teach us a lesson. But no, He used the ant... the little things to teach us big lessons.

We all have special places special times and maybe even special occasions that we all remember. Many of us will remember Granny’s place. A place of good memories of long ago. A place of many smells and tastes. All of those are wonderful and good and we should long for those days in many ways. But we should also long to be in the house of the Lord.

The definition of success in this world is a far cry from the definition of success and a heavenly manner. It’s the meek that shall inherit the earth not the marquee names that scroll across Hollywood. Our meekness means so much more to the Lord than any of our worldly successes.

Many of us reach our tipping point and it doesn’t take much at all to send us over the edge. But we have a God who can reach down and pull us out from whatever situation that were in and help us re-surface and be stronger than we ever were before.
