August 18 – sweet or savory

sweet or savory
eat, drink, find satisfaction
this, a gift of God

Inspired by:

Ecclesiastes 3:13
That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. (NIV)

I admit to suspect editing as the verse itself points to satisfaction in all your toil not in the eat antd drink as I imply in the Haiku.

Chalk it up to creative license and inspiration versus quoting.

We are made in God’s image.

Therefore, God must have a nose.

We read in Deuteronomy, “There you will worship man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell. (4:28)

Therefore, there must be smells in Heaven.

In Genesis, we read that Noah, built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma. (8:21-22)

If God smells the pleasing aroma from Earth, there must be pleasing aromas in Heaven.

Therefore, there must be coffee…

One more thing to look forward to Heaven.
