A Bitter Pill?

I’m not sure if you have ever heard of the phrase, “a bitter pill.” It implies that the pill is taken for healing but it tastes bitter as it goes down. We can find a similar scripture in Psalms: “It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statues.” (Psalm 119:71, NKJV)

As I reflect on the trauma in my life I would not trade it for anything because of the things I have learned from God’s word. It has given me an appetite for His word that makes me want more and more. This is a result of seeing God’s truth and His faithfulness in my hardest times.

“How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.”

Psalm 119:103,104  NKJV
