For some reason, this verse makes me think of the book, Green Eggs and Ham. You know, the character won’t taste the green eggs and ham anywhere under any circumstances. But when he finally relents and tries the food, he is amazed at how good it tastes. Isn’t that the way it is with listening for God’s will and being willing to follow it? “Oh, no, God,” we think, “you surely don’t want me to do or say that.” We think we know more than God. When we finally give in and taste what the Lord has to offer, we are amazed at his goodness.
Lord, keep my heart and mind willing to listen and to follow your will for me. You are so good. Thank you for loving and saving me.
