/*Taste and see that the LORD is good ... -- Psalm 34:8*/

How do we taste and see that the Lord is good? Sometimes our mouths are 
full of the disgusting, distasteful ingredients of life. Sometimes we 
are so intent on these things that we don't realize that we have a choice.

We can hold up to God all that is bitter and sour in our lives. In fact, 
we must. If we don't, we will never be able to taste and see that He is 
good. We will be stuck in a double bind: trying to create a paradise we 
cannot create or blaming God for a hell here on earth that He did not 
create.

As a race, we humans overestimate our own abilities and underestimate 
the abilities of God.

All of us believe lies about the character of God. That is part of the 
human condition. We don't shed these lies by deleting them from our 
doctrinal statements. We are released from them when we feel their 
apparent truth and go to God to taste the difference.

Be encouraged!
Dwight


What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries? Victims of 
violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace, wholeness, the 
power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries. Those ensnared by 
addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being restored. Families 
are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in restricted lands who 
face persecution are finding strength and encouragement. Young believers 
are learning how to walk with the Lord, and people are coming into the 
faith for the first time. None of this happens as a result of one 
person's efforts, but rather this is God's work as He blesses the 
sacrifice of many people including yourself. We partner with you, with 
other ministries, and, most significantly, with the Lord. That's how the 
supernatural happens.
