Taste and see!

Psalm 34: - 8, 10

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

…but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

My wife’s grandmother, Bernice Ashley, and her good friend, Omro native Emma Stanley, were trusted retirement home friends.

Often times at the end of a busy week, they would each take a portion of a “meltaway” candy, and see who could make it last the longest.

I guess sometimes, that was as exciting as life was for them.

It occurred to me just today, that both Bernice and Emma learned the valuable lesson of savoring.

They enjoyed not only the taste and texture of the candy, but they also learned the value of true, quiet friendship.

Did you know that God wants us to savor His presence? Did you know God wants to offer His friendship to us today?

When we spend long, intimate moments with God, He brings to us a satisfying knowledge and friendship.

Father God must look at people who take the time to savor His presence, with wonderful satisfaction.

If we take the time, He will reveal His knowledge, love, holiness and faithfulness to us.

Will you find refuge in the most High God, this day?

Remember, those who truly seek Him, will lack no good thing.

Maybe the reason we’re lacking, is because we’ve not yet learned how to savor
