{ Wednesday's Word - Taste }

taste:

1. *to perceive or recognize as if by the sense of taste     
2.      *to become acquainted with by experience 

When I hear the word "taste" I automatically think of what a certain food tastes like...... for instance, chocolate!

But, if you'll notice the definitions I chose have nothing to do with actually taking a bite of food and savoring the "taste".  

I've had the above verse of scripture on my mind so much lately and I actually thought it was because of my struggle with weight and food issues.  That is something I struggle with on a daily basis, but I think God planted that verse in my head for a different reason.  When I looked up and read Psalm 34 in it's entirety, (you can read it here)  then I understood more of what God was trying to ever so sweetly speak to my heart.  Just like my physical hunger (which isn't true hunger, but a craving) for that certain food.....

again, chocolate.....

I should have an even greater craving for His word.  I need to remember what He's done for me in the past and realize that He's still the same God and will continue to care for me in the present and future. 

The verse goes along perfectly with my word for 2017, MORE.

It's also a reminder of the HOPE we have in Him alone!
