TASTING
November 30, 2018

Prayer:  Oh Lord thank you for your generosity to us.

Scripture: Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him
Psalm 34:8 NIV

Taste and see that the Lord is good. The Hebrew word for “taste” in this verse is “ta am” (taw-am’), which means perceive. The Hebrew word for “see” is ra ah (raw-aw’), which means to behold or enjoy. We could all profess that the Lord is good. Some may even say He is very good. Unfortunately, none of us have fully perceived or beheld just how good He is.

I am convinced that God shows us in many spectacular ways how much He loves us, and we often miss these messages. God loves you so much and longs to delight and bless you. He is not selfish, but is giving. He is not waiting for you to mess up so He can “zap” you, but eagerly waits to reward you. Next week, you will be tasting many of God’s gifts to us. Have you ever thought of your favorite foods as a gift from God? He gave you taste buds so that we would enjoy our food, and not just eat to live.

Name some things that you see, smell, hear or touch that spur you to thank Him. Are we so busy? Do we take so many things for granted that we miss His messages of goodness? I confess that I do. My prayer is that God will open my eyes, and every other sense, to His goodness. Stop and look for God’s messages to you. I pray that each day you will see God’s goodness in a new way. Prepare to be delighted!
