It’s Good

Yesterday Dave and I did something I have wanted to do for quite some time, we stopped at an old fashioned ice cream store.

In the town next to us there is an ice cream shop that I first noticed months ago. We had tried to stop in but we were always there before it opened. Yesterday we arrived about 10 minutes too early but since we needed to pick up a few groceries we headed into the grocery store and went we came out we went back to get ice cream.

Oh my!

Dave ordered a banana split, his favorite. It looked delicious and was the size of what I considered a normal helping so I ordered two scoops on a cone. These were not your regular size scoops – they were huge.

I literally felt like a kid in a candy store.

We chose a table and sat down to enjoy this delicious treat. Another couple came in shortly after us and when they saw my cone they said, “That looks wonderful”. And they each ordered a single scoop.

“O taste and see that the Lord is good. How happy is the man who trusts in Him! O fear the Lord, all you who belong to Him. For those who fear Him never want for anything.” Psalm 34:8-9 NLV

Taste and see that the Lord is good. That’s what I hope you do as you read this blog each morning. It’s one thing to see how “good” God looks through the thoughts I share with you but it is another thing entirely when you experience God’s goodness for yourself.

Those folks could have sat and stared at me while I ate my ice cream and heard me repeat over and over how good it tasted but that wouldn’t have satisfied their desire.

The one thing I have learned in all my years of walking with the Lord is He is no respecter of persons. He doesn’t give special consideration to some and refuse to share His goodness with others. He willingly shares His promises with all who come to Him.

I will encourage you again to begin studying the book of Romans and there you will find that God shares His grace and love with all who come to Him.

Be like those folks in the ice cream shoppe, taste and see for yourself just how good it truly is.
