A business which makes the various flavored toppings for ice cream sundaes advertised for eight teenagers to be “tasters” of their products. They were to be paid for working on Saturdays. Their job was on a taste panel which tasted samples of each of the different toppings made by the company during the week. They were to either say “yes” or “no” to the toppings, based on their “taste test.”
Although there were only eight job openings for this type of work, more than two thousand teenagers applied! Who wouldn’t answer an ad that would pay you to eat ice cream sundaes? I would.
How sad to think, though, of so many people who would answer an ad to taste sundaes and so few who have answered God’s plea: “O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.” Psalms 34:88O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. (Psalm 34:8).
