Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the LORD is good! How blessed is the one who takes shelter in him!

Are we picky eaters, or do we know anyone who is? Do we find ourselves trying to limit what we will accept? Do we have a small comfort zone that controls what we receive? When our children want to limit their diet to only a few specific food groups (chocolate, cookies, chips, cereal), we may, for a time, allow it, and give them a chance to grow out of it on their own.

Our walk with God is one of growth and change, adding and increasing in the things of God, decreasing and dropping the things of the flesh, our old nature, that to which we died through baptism into Christ's death and resurrection.

Ezekiel 37:25 They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob...and David my servant will be their prince forever.

This promise is in the midst of a larger passage which begins with the vision of the valley of dry bones. In chapter 37 God expresses His heart by describing what He will do for His people and how He will show His love for them.

Ezekiel 20:42 Then you will know that I am the Lord

This is the focus of God's interaction with every one of us. He purposes to be known as the Sovereign Lord in each of our lives and His majesty and worth will be acknowledged by His entire creation.

Do you have a lack or a shortage in your life somewhere? Do you feel you are missing an essential element or ingredient? Have you sought the Lord for it, spending time in His presence bearing this question to His throne without receiving what you have sought?
