PSALMS lesson 0

What is your least favorite food that you know is good for you? How would you feel if you had ordered a gourmet chocolate cake from Amazon Prime and received instead that good-but-least-favorite food? My guess is that, like me, you’d be on the computer immediately with a disgruntled “take this back – not what I ordered!” But, what if you were invited to a dignitary’s home–let’s say, the Queen of England–and that very same food was served as the main dinner? Would you simply reject it in a slightly gentler way, or would you graciously eat at least some of it? What would be the difference?
