Tasting the Goodness of the LORD.

I love the verse on this blog, Psalm 34:8, "O taste and see that the LORD is good, Blessed is the man who trusts in Him. I love the Psalms in general, especially David's Psalms. He went through so much tribulation and still gave thanks to the LORD and trusted him. Was he perfect, no. He was human like we are, but he trusted the LORD. When he messed up he would repent. When he was saved he would give thanks.

How often do we do either one. I'm getting better at both, but who wants to repent. I like to hide it. I don't want to get into trouble or let people see how imperfect I am. Sometimes this blog is hard to write because I'm trying to be transparent and real. I am far from perfect, and I am getting better at going to God and repenting.

I am also getting better about thanking God daily for what He does for me each day. I don't wait to make a list at bedtime or in the morning prayer time, I try to remember to do it immediately. Even for the seemingly little things like when my medication comes out of the bottle with a whole pill and a half pill. It is a small thing but I am grateful I don't have to fish around for that little half pill.

Psalm 34 starts out beautifully as well:

I will bless the LORD at all times;

His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul shall make its boast in the LORD;

The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

O magnify the LORD with me,

And let us exalt His name together.

I sought the LORD and He heard me,

And delivered me from all my fears.

I find the Psalms comforting and encouraging. I hope you do too.

Father,

Thank You for all Your blessings. You have blessed me so abundantly. I pray for all who read this, that You will bless them beyond imagination.

In Jesus Name,

Amen.
