So in house church, we were talking about how the Thai people need to taste and see the goodness of the Lord. They do not understand why they would need God, they are just kind of whatever about God and their need for him. They have no concept of sin, or their fallen nature.
So we were talking about an example that we could use - it made me laugh, because I basically speak in analogies. They are right up my alley.
Dr. Pepper is a hot commodity in Chiang Mai. Anytime a farang (white person) hears of it, they go out and buy it out for as much as USD $2 for a can. It's great stuff - there are days when it is sooooooo worth it. If you can find it.
Thais don't understand why we go to great lengths to obtain it.
That's because they've never tasted it.
They have no idea why we love it. Why we will stalk the export stores in hopes of finding it. Why we find it, and then send an SMS to all our friends saying we've found it, we know where the precious liquid is.
Well, they haven't tasted Jesus. They don't know the goodness of the Lord.
So we pray that they will taste the goodness of the Lord in some way, to where they will search Him out.
Ps. 34:8 - Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
