S. Psalm 34:8-9 (NIV) Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
9 Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.
O. David writes about the goodness of the Lord as he is running away from Saul and living among the Philistines (the enemies of Israel). David invites all to experience just how good God is and then assures us that when we revere the Lord (fear Him or to be in awe of Him), we lack nothing. He supplies all we need.
A. I love this Psalm - “Oh, taste and see the Lord is good.” What wonderful words those are that describe the experience that you can have with God. While I have had my ups and downs, I can truly say that for most of the long haul of 47 years as a Christ follower, I have experienced the Lord to such a wonderful blessing in my life - and He has always provided for every need I ever had. I lack nothing. He takes care of me.
P. Thank you Father for your word today. Thank you for how you are there to faithfully walk with me. You are so very good and you provide for all I need - I lack nothing - Thank you! Holy Spirit fill me and guide me to continue to experience all the wonders of our Father in Jesus’ name!
