Re:Verse passage – Ephesians 5:18-19 (day seven)
And do not get drunk with wine – Ephesians 5:18a
It all begins with a taste. One taste, one drink, one more… dissipation and drunkenness. Could it be that restoration begins with a taste?
O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! – Psalm 34:8
[…] like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord. – 1 Peter 2:2-3
When we taste the goodness and kindness of the Lord, two things happen. One, we clearly see that we will never be able to replicate the same type of goodness. We see our brokenness. Two, we long for more. When we taste that goodness, our brokenness begins to be put back together, and we realize it is through more of that taste that we will be restored. Taste and see!
