They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights. Psalm 36:8
Taste and See – Psalm 36:8 (December 19)
Do you have traditional special goodies that you make during the holidays each year? Some of our family traditions include peanut butter crunchies, homemade fudge, and toffee candy. When we start baking those treats, it really feels like Christmas.
Feast on the good things of God
We taste and see that it is Christmas time. The Bible tells us that God has delights for us to feast on. We are to taste and see His goodness, delighting ourselves in Him!
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Psalm 34:8
The sweet Word of God
Did you know that the word “meditate” actually indicates an action like a cow chewing its cud. Tasting, chewing on, and coming back over and over again to an idea or thought. We are to meditate on the Word of God – it is so sweet!
How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:103
Feed ourselves on God’s goodness
This season, let’s not only feed on the sweet treats of the holidays, but also feast on the abundance from the house of God, feed ourselves with the Word of God, and taste the Lord’s goodness in our lives.
Action Step:
Grab your Bible and your favorite Christmas sweet treat. As you savor the special holiday food, meditate on a scripture about God’s goodness. Here are a few to get you started:
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34
No one is good but One, that is, God. Mark 10:18
Good and upright is the Lord. Psalm 25:8
I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works. Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness. They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness. Psalm 145:5-7
Prayer:
Dear God, Thank You for Your incredible goodness! Help us to savor Your Word this Christmas and feast on the abundance of Your house. In Jesus’ name, amen.
