God is… Good.
Psalm 34:8 says (NKJV) “Oh taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man who trusts in Him.” You know, that is a great prayer before some barbeque or a great steak or even a nice, cool, fresh salad on a hot summer day. Have you ever stopped to think about what the reader is actually saying? The word “taste” is an invitation to bring the object that you’re tasting close to you, to draw it in to yourself, to savor. Have you ever savored the Lord? Savored your reading time or maybe even the time you spend practicing an instrument to better worship Him? I need to better savor Jesus, to invite Him closer, to investigate every nuance, every aroma, every blessing that gushes forth from Jesus’ kindness and warmth. He is God, He is good….
May God bless you and keep you, may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
