Retraining Our Taste Buds~Part One

I memorized Psalm 119:102. Then started working on 103. I noticed something as I linked the end of 102 with the first of 103. It says, “…For You Yourself have taught me, how sweet are Your words to my taste…”

Does reading, hearing, quoting God’s word taste sweet in your mouth? The end of 103 says, “…sweeter than honey to my mouth!” This verse reminded me of Psalm 19:10. David wrote it about God’s word. It says, “More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.”

Psalm 34:8 says, “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him.” Jeremiah 15:16 says, “Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart…”

In 1973 my doctor took me off all sugar. I grew up on sugar! We had dessert after lunch and dinner. We drank Pepsi. My grandpa C got me hooked on his favorite candy bar ~ the Three Musketeers. We ate white bread.
