Last week I visited the great people at the Chocolate Necessities to say, “Hi.” and visit with the owner Kevin.  It’s a wonderful neighborhood chocolate shop next to the church that imports chocolate from all over the world.  Many times Kevin will show a new product that he is excited about and, if I’m lucky, he let’s me be the “quality control” person for a blissful, brief moment.  The latest sensation in his shop is the dark chocolate bar with chili peppers.  He’s says, “It’s wonderful smooth dark chocolate that’s very enjoyable and then you wonder where the chili pepper is– Bam! It gets you.  Believe me it’s in there!”
Isn’t that like the Word of God?  You read it and read it and at times it just seems like words on a page and then Pow! It comes alive.  It brings wisdom and revelation and conviction that cuts like a two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12).  I want to encourage you to keep reading because whatever you are looking for…it’s in there!
