Day of Praise

Wed, 07/25/18, "Day of Praise"

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

I'm telling you, I'm not kidding, when I was out working a bit in my yard last night, I smelled it. It was fantastic. I smelled Fall in the air. It comes in a cooling breeze mixed with the smell of grass and garden. I smelled Fall in the air. And with Fall comes Paula Deen's and other Fall recipe suggestions in various magazines like I saw at Walgreen's drug store recently. Oh my goodness, do those recipe pictures look good!

But as delicious as those Fall 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!
