Psalm 34:8a Oh taste and see that the Lord is good;
You are short of a few cents when buying some snacks, then suddenly someone behind you offers to pay the remainder. Is it a coincidence? How about when you run out of ideas, and suddenly, you get inspired by something you saw as you were driving. Is it a coincidence?
Whether or not you realize it, the goodness of God is abundant in our lives. Unfortunately, not everyone sees it as God's grace and kindness. Many of us might regard this as a coincidence, and when we hear "God's goodness", we may only refer to those supposedly bigger blessings such as healing, restoration, and many others. We often neglect the many benefits and goodness He loads us with everyday.
We can taste God's goodness without even seeing it. When we really open our eyes, then we will see His abundant goodness in our lives. Goodness that will cause us to give thanks when we realize how vast and wide it is. It will make us more in love with Him. The more we dwell on His love, the sweeter it becomes the more we yearn and hunger for him.
REFLECTION Saudara Terkasih, The key to GREAT SPIRITUAL HUNGER is to TASTE and SEE how BEAUTIFUL GOD'S LOVE IS.
APPLICATION 1. Have you seen and tasted the goodness of the Lord? Name a few of them. 2. Why does experiencing God's love lead to spiritual hunger? 3. What can you do to taste and see the goodness of the Lord?
TODAY'S PRAYER "Father, thank You for all Your goodness in our lives. Forgive us for neglecting Your goodness that is evident in our lives. We want to taste and see Your goodness properly, that we may yearn and hunger more for Your spirit. Thank You Father, in Jesus' name we have prayed. Amen."
