Taste Goodness

Verse 8 gives us an invitation to find out about God’s goodness. It is like tasting a decadent food. There is great enjoyment. Getting to know God’s goodness brings great joy. I am thankful for the blessings that come through knowing and serving God.

I pray my readers have learned of the goodness of God. If you don’t know what that means, please let me know. I would be happy to share Who God truly is with you.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the goodness You have poured on us. Please help me to share this goodness with both those who know You and those who don’t. I need Your help.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Patient & Constant

Patience and consistency require a lot of effort. It can seem like we don’t have a lot of that in this day and age. However, I know based on the commands of Scripture that there are believers who are trying to live this passage.

The actions in this verse aren’t always readily visible, and yet the Bible tells us that this is part of the behavior we will see from true believers. I encourage you to “rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer” and watch for this behavior in other believers.

Dear Heavenly Father, please help us to live according to what You command. Thank You for the encouragement from Your Word about the behavior of true believers.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.
