Today’s Reading: Psalms 34:1-10
Today’s Verse: “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” Psalms 34:8 KJV
When we hear the word “taste” we automatically think of the flavor of a food or drink.
But taste can also describe a brief personal experience.
Today’s verse invites you to experience God’s goodness. Rather than simply knowing about it, He wants us to receive it firsthand. To receive it from the original source rather than through a third party.
A wonderful personal relationship.
David was always praising God and encouraging himself to trust Him.
He knew that prayer helped to silence his fears.
We know that there were many in the Bible besides him that have looked unto the Lord by faith and prayer. Their prayers wonderfully revived and comforted them.
The same holds true for us.
When we spend time in the Word, we digest God’s promises. We reflect on His faithfulness.
The more we do, we learn to practice gratitude. We count our blessings. We think about His daily provisions.
It is wonderful to know we can take refuge in Him. We can turn to God during both joyful and difficult seasons. We can always trust His character.
We can enjoy His creations. Praising and recognizing the beauty of the world. Seeing a physical reflection of His goodness. Knowing that He has an even better place for those who believe and trust Him.
Taste and see God’s goodness. Take notice of it. Take comfort of it.
He makes all truly blessed that trust in him.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Savior, we are not to trust in ourselves. We are not to think that our own efforts are enough. We will always find ourselves in a state of want. We must put our trust in You. We will always be fed when we trust in You. Thank You for allowing us to taste and experience Your goodness firsthand. Forgive us for relying on our own strength. We are choosing to take refuge in You today. We know You will supply our needs. You will ease our anxieties, Thank You for letting us find peace and a safe haven in You.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
