Verie-Tea

Psalm 34:8 “Taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.”

Verie-Tea

Variety: A number of different kinds of absence of repetitiveness or sameness.

We have all heard the expression, “variety is the spice of life.” Still, I am astounded by the number of people I encounter day after day who appear to follow the same, well-worn rut. How dull!

Everyday people go to coffee/tea shops, approach the counter and peruse the extensive list of flavors available on the menu. A variety of coffees, sodas, cappuccinos, lattes, smoothes, gourmet hot chocolate, loose-leaf and fancy-flavored teas, chi, juice, milk and water are offered. There are hundreds of combinations, and each drink is prepared to order. Some are overwhelmed with the number of choices and can’t make up their minds while others know right away what they want. You could set your clock by some as they order the same thing every single day. They are consistent, predictable, and adamant about their selections.

Some people are timid and afraid to experiment. Those with more adventurous palates sample their way though the long list of possibilities. Others are open to suggestions.

As I go about my business daily, I pray that what I say and do will direct people toward Jesus and the refuge we can have in Him. What an honor when one thing leads to another in a conversation, and I have the opportunity of introducing someone to their Savior, leading them to a personal relationship with Him.

An amazing, endless peace comes from that saving knowledge, from the assurance of God’s great grace and forgiveness.
