Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.
Psalm 34:8
To taste a thing must precede our DESIRE for its
sweetness. - John Piper
Piper's quote from above is so true. To taste and see
that the Lord is good must precede our desire for the
sweetness of HIMSELF!!!
Touring has been such a neat experience! I've been to
so many new places and have met so many people.. its
quite exciting!!
What has been the most challenging part of tour though
is surrendering daily. I learned the hard way that letting
myself become my own priority leads to feelings of ultimate
emptiness.
There were many times I was crying out to Jesus for joy.
For strength. For grace... and even though all of those things
are good, I was missing what I was in DESPERATE need of.
Just Himself.
My Jesus.
Everything that I kept looking to for fulfillment kept...
leaving me..needing Him.
And y'all, once HE became what I desired... (more than
strength, joy, or grace for the day..) He filled me with good
things!!
God is mightly honored when a people know that they will
die of hunger and of thirst unless they have God, Himself!
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants
for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the LIVING GOD.
Psalm 42:1-2
He.."filled my heart with GREATER JOY than with their
grain and new wine abound."
Psalm 4:7
His goodness is great in my life.
(Psalm 31:19)
