If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. - 1 Peter 4:14

Has your stomach ever been so full that you were miserable? If so, you know that, at that moment, it is easy to push away even your most favorite food in disgust; but when hungry, your tongue can find even the blandest food exploding with delectable flavor.

So it is with Scripture, which when you think yourself full of understanding or a good person, you easily find Scripture a chore to read; but, if you confess your sin before God, maintaining a hunger for righteousness, even the most difficult morsel of God's Word will explode in your mind with new understanding and wisdom in your heart.

"O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him." - Ps 34:8
