Laffy Taffy

I like laffy taffy candy!  I really like the banana one.  I find myself going through the bag and only reaching for the yellow, delicious banana ones.  My husband pointed out to me the other day that other people in our household also like the banana ones.  I think he was talking about himself.

I grabbed some of the other flavors the next time I reached into that bag.  I discovered that the grape and sour apple are not bad.  I reacquainted myself with their fruity flavors.  I still like the banana the best but I need to share.  I have to be fair.  The grape and apple need some attention too.

I have found that in reading the Bible there are certain passages that I keep going back too.  I have my favorite places to go to but I need to realize that I need to branch out and seek the fruit in other areas.  There are many flavors to be discovered.  I need to taste of the fruit of Lamentations and Zephaniah!  I wonder what Joel might taste like?

I might like the banana flavored scripture but I need to explore the sour apple and grape.  I wonder what truths I will find?  I wonder where they will lead?

Joel 3:17

New International Version (NIV)

Blessings for God’s People

17 “Then you will know that I, the Lord your God,
    dwell in Zion, my holy hill.
Jerusalem will be holy;
    never again will foreigners invade her.

Zephaniah 3:9-10

New International Version (NIV)

Restoration of Israel’s Remnant

9 “Then I will purify the lips of the peoples,
    that all of them may call on the name of the Lord
    and serve him shoulder to shoulder.
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush[a]
    my worshipers, my scattered people,
    will bring me offerings.

Lamentations 3:22-26

New International Version (NIV)

22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
    for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for him.”

25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
    to the one who seeks him;
26 it is good to wait quietly
    for the salvation of the Lord.
