Day of Praise

Th, 08/14/14, "Day of Praise"

Psalm 34:8 - "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him."

With cooler temperatures in the evening, leaves on the ground, and college football in the air, Fall can't be far away. And with Fall comes Paula Deen's Fall recipe suggestions in various magazines. Oh my goodness, do those recipe pictures look good!

But as delicious as Paula Deen's recipes always look and always are, they can't hold a candle to the dishes God is cooking up in today's verse from Psalm 34:8, "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him." God's telling us that when we really trust the Lord with our situations, when we really throw our situations and the worries that go with those situations into God's care, there is such an overwhelming sense of God's provision in those matters that you can taste it.

So, whatever you've got going on today, and whatever is ongoing from days gone by and spilling into today, give it to the Lord. Really really really give it to the Lord. And God says that you'll be so sure that God's on it that you can taste it!

Mmm, mmm, good!

Praise God!
