Taste and see that the Lord is good.
- Psalms 34:8

In a world that leaves a bad taste in your mouth, God invites. Things that stink up the spirit. Words that may sound like honey, but kills like poison. People who have a veil of godliness and freely con the world around them, even within the Christian community. They come in sheepskin, but darkness lurks underneath them. They seek to devour the innocent and the lame, people who succumb to their fancies. They lurk around wanting to steal, kill and destroy every beautiful thing God created and said it was good. Bitterness clouds their thinking, they go through the day-by-day toil, and their only goal is to find ways of how they may be lifted up higher among the rest. Where is God in the whole scheme of things? Probably somewhere left out and neglected. They become more and more numb and senseless to the things of God. They may have even forgotten how His voice sounds like. Because even when He calls out, voices of fame, glory, richness shouts louder and they don't know how to tune in anymore. They lurk in churches (if they ever go). They may speak the language of teachers, prophets and preachers, but they're never one. Integrity is the last thing on their agenda. Backbiting and the ruthless tactics of climbing the corporate ladder continues. Yet they don't feel a thing. The Word says don't grieve the Person of the Holy Spirit. Do they ever take heed in the words of wisdom? No. All they care about is not grieving the bosses, colleagues, the one who pay their monthly salary, yet where is God in all these? He's sitting at a dark, cobweb and rat-infested corner of their depraved being. How could they! How dare they! The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!

The King of Hosts invites. Come, taste and see that the Lord is good.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
