Deliciously bitter


Take away from before you that plate of delicious food.  Though it sustains for a moment it is rotten and useless.  You have been taught to teach your tongue.  But your tongue has been taught in error.

Place before you the things you consider bitter.  Force your tongue to learn.  In time you will consider what was before delicious as if it is rotten and putrid.

The taste of delicacies in this world of sin is an abomination at the Lord’s table.  From childhood we are taught, from without and within, to enjoy this banquet of corruption and rebellion.  Pleasure is sweet and the aroma captivates the soul.  But this food is rancid it will make you horribly sick;  even unto death.

What is bitter to the flesh is a delicacy of God.  The one who trains himself to enjoy what is good is wise.  There is a banquet table being prepared from which the pleasure seekers will revolt.  Only those who love Him will attend.  And their joy will never end.

By His Grace
