Though you taste only a small hint of God’s goodness now, one day you will enter the full abundance of the Promised Land.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Remember the Israelites who crossed the Jordan to get an idea of what the Promised Land was like? Well, the spies only brought back one cluster of grapes from that land of milk and honey. Those grapes were only a small taste of the abundance of the Holy Land that they were about to enter. They had no idea how much wealth awaited them on the other side. And friend, we are very much like that. We have no idea. We are still on this side of the River Jordan, tasting only a flavor, only a bit of God’s goodness. But one day—and that day is coming for us all—one day we will leave behind this life and cross into the Promised Land. So, if you’re discouraged today, chase it away by tasting all the good things God has done in your life over the years. Reflect on the flavor of his love. And know, just know that God is that good all the time.
