Seasoning

They tell me Italian salad dressing makes a great marinade for chicken, beef or pork. You may want to try it. Surely it would tenderize the meat, add flavor, and make the finished dish more appealing. You can just smell that cut coming off the grill, can’t you?

What if we were to marinade our lives in God’s Word – you know, just leave it to soak, to take in all the available richness. There is much in the scriptures to season our thoughts and actions. The result would be a life further tenderized to the Spirit and more attractive to people around us.

What is your commitment to daily Bible reading? I heard recently that the average adult reader can read the entire Bible in 70 hours, cover to cover. That translates into less than 12 minutes a day over a year. I know my daily television consumption exceeds 12 minutes. Let’s you and I season our souls with eternal truths from God’s amazing Word.
