"Taste and See" -Too

"Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's." (Psalms 103:5)
On the other hand, there appears to be something connected with the sharing of God's word and our being renewed that continues to reinforce our own personal belief. I know that we can sometimes waver, maybe even sometimes chew on the lie, if but for a single moment; but the simple sharing of God's word keeps us from growing weary and from getting settled into a worldly way of thinking. As it was for Paul, or any other disciple for that matter, sharing God's message of salvation is what kept giving them boldness and strength, even in the most threatening circumstances. I heard a message yesterday about how Paul was weary about his life being threatened; it was during his trip to Antioch when there was a great revival that had taken place. After he realized what had just happened, Paul felt weary about what might come next. The message was focused around, "No Pain, No Gain," but Pastor Jon changed the statement into, "Know gain, Know pain." It is a principle of the enemies of God stepping up their fight against those who seem to be doing the most work for the Lord. It is really something that should be expected; Paul surely expected that it would happen, because it had happened everywhere else he went. But this time, the Lord came to Paul at night and assured him that no one would harm him there. Paul ended up spending a year and half there. Our biggest threat to the ability to withstand growing weary, is our view of the world and our view of God. If our view of God far outweighs the view of the world, then any threat the world might give to us is greatly reduced. As simple as that might sound, it is something that must be put into action before it is realized to be true in our own lives. That you might refer to, as exercising your faith: No Pain, No Gain; that's pretty much the point...
"That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For out present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that far outweighs them and will last forever! So we don't look at the trouble we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on the things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever." (2 Corinthians 4:16-18) NLT
