I’ve been thinking a lot lately we become so much like what we’re around.  If we reside in the presence of the LORD, we marinate His presence and soak up who He is.

If we allow anger and bitterness and other things into our hearts, our hearts pickle and change, growing  bitter to become something over-pickled, sour and undesirable.  We choose what we’re around.

Are we marinating in his praise and Presence daily?  Or are we pickling in the things of this world?
