I give you fullness of life . . . a full plate that contains food of all types . . . some sweet, some salty . . . some sour, some bitter. All My food is good if received with thanksgiving. Even the bitter and sour foods have their purpose for you. How can you have compassion on those who have eaten a lot of unsavory food, if you have only eaten sweet? How will you know peace and submission and contentment in all circumstances, if you have only eaten pleasant food? How will you learn long-suffering and trust, if you have only had dessert? Unsavory food can be purifying, if eaten with thanksgiving and trust and acceptance. I bring all good gifts to the table. My ways are not your ways. Taste all I bring and you will see in the end that I Am Good. I Love you! We eat together. Deuteronomy 32:4 The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he. James 1:1-17 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. . . Phil 4-11 . . . 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. . . Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Ex.18:8 8 Then Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardship that had come upon them in the way, and how the Lord had delivered them. Job 42:17 And Job died, an old man, and full of days. (full of days = ate a full plate of all the types of food)
