When it happened, I can't quite
remember, but I recall a time when we were preparing for a party and
my mom was making salad and she had added some olives. I wanted to
try one but eeeeiiish, the thing tasted disgusting. I remember that
after that I would hold my nose and chew and swallow as fast as I
could to get them down. Nowadays though I could polish off a whole
packet in one sitting if allowed, especially those yummy calamata's.
Likewise mushrooms were not a favourite
growing up but I really enjoy them now. Our taste buds change as we
get older and somehow the more saline and salty flavours become
enjoyable. As we grow in our relationship with God our spiritual
taste buds also change. One scripture verse on its own no longer
seems to hold the same weight as reading a full book of the bible or
doing a little self study.
So, should you find yourself smacking
your lips together, thinking that something is missing in your
spiritual life, how about some study time. There are so many
wonderful resources available and the Internet is an amazing way to
easily browse for the information you are looking for. Just be
careful to guard your heart though as not everything that is
published is revelation from God. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you
so that you can make the most of your study time.
