Now if I'd only had this as a baby, maybe I wouldn't be such a gringo today. My eyes start watering at just the mention of Taco Bell's mild sauce. It used to amaze me to see a man at our church pull a jalapeno out of his pocket and just start munching on it. What I'd like to know is- how do you taste something when your tongue is on fire? Does it add to the flavor? Are people actually trying to charbroil something in their mouth rather than using a stove? Guess they like to eat dinner while their mouth is sizzling.
I've noticed lately, however, that I've started to try a few more spicy things. (Had a pumpkin spice latte over the holidays.) Maybe it's my advanced age but I'm finding that a little kick to the food can make it more exciting.
It seems that God isn't into bland things either. He's very passionate and I believe that He wants us to be as well. He's not into having us just go through the motions. Revelation 3:16 speaks of Him spitting the lukewarm out of his mouth. But vs.19-21 (The Message translation) tells what kind of dish He relishes. "The people I love, I call to account—prod and correct and guide so that they'll live at their best. Up on your feet, then! About face! Run after God! Look at me. I stand at the door. I knock. If you hear me call and open the door, I'll come right in and sit down to supper with you. Conquerors will sit alongside me at the head table, just as I, having conquered, took the place of honor at the side of my Father. That's my gift to the conquerors!"
Let's live spicy lives for God. Let's add a little Picante to our praise.
