David Maas - The Fleeting Moment of Perfect Flavor

David Maas, reflecting upon his early experiences in the Green Giant Company’s Experimental cannery, suggests that God harvests his called out ones at the fleeting moment of perfect flavor, including the small and great harvests, the order of resurrections, and the process of sanctification. God’s timing is impeccable, allowing for repentance and yielding, enabling the fruits to be juicy and succulent. The scripture is replete with countless examples of individuals, called and picked at the fleeting moment of perfect flavor, including Abraham, Judah, Job, David, Ruth, John the Baptist, the Apostle Paul, Samson, and the Prodigal Son. The fleeting moment of perfect flavor occurs when we exchange self-control for God’s control (1)When we yield instead of resist,(2) When we become absorbent, taking in prodigious quantities of God’s Holy Spirit , and (3) When we substitute rest and refreshment for anxiety and tension. The stages in our sanctification process are incremental levels of commitment, moving from assent to acceptance to totally buying in.
