Savor…

His presence.

Oh!  Savior.  SAVIOR!  One little letter.  I. Savor.  Savior.

Yes, Lord, I savor my Savior!

The object of my affection.  Jesus.  Yes!  I submit to HIM.  That is when Jesus surrounds me and becomes my Savior—when I am surrounded by Him.

Yes, rest.  I must rest in His sweet embrace.  Lord, I savor being in the presence of my Savior, Your Son, Jesus.

Thank you for sending Him for us, Father God.  For me.  To savor His divine presence.  I love my Savior.

Savor…

Proverbs 8:1 The Message (MSG)

Lady Wisdom Calls Out

8:1-11 Do you hear Lady Wisdom calling?

Can you hear Madame Insight raising her voice?

She’s taken her stand at First and Main,

at the busiest intersection.

Right in the city square

where the traffic is thickest, she shouts,

“You—I’m talking to all of you,

everyone out here on the streets!

Listen, you idiots—learn good sense!

You blockheads—shape up!

Don’t miss a word of this—I’m telling you how to live well,

I’m telling you how to live at your best.

My mouth chews and savors and relishes truth—

I can’t stand the taste of evil!

You’ll only hear true and right words from my mouth;

not one syllable will be twisted or skewed.

You’ll recognize this as true—you with open minds;

truth-ready minds will see it at once.

Prefer my life-disciplines over chasing after money,

and God-knowledge over a lucrative career.

For Wisdom is better than all the trappings of wealth;

nothing you could wish for holds a candle to her.
