Taste and See

"Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him."  Psalm 34:8

 Lyssa (1996)

From the moment she was born, until her 3rd birthday, binkies were Alyssa's favorite friend.  Everywhere she went, there was a binky not far behind.  She hung onto those little plastic things with dear life.  Often one in each hand.  That way, if one got too "warm" and used, she could do a quick swap.

Yes, binkies were one of Alyssa's FAVORITE things.

The binkies soothed her when she was grumpy,

gave comfort when she was unhappy,

and was her security when she sleeping.

Sounds a bit like Jesus, don't you think?!

Jesus can be the one to soothe us when we are anxious or unhappy, give us comfort when are sad, and help us to feel secure when our fears feel big and overwhelming. 

Taste HIM.  He's so much better than those darn binkies!

Oh Lord, I pray that Alyssa and Kyle taste and see that YOU are good.  How blessed is the one who takes refuge in you.  You offer such a sweet gift of salvation, and all that Alyssa and Kyle have to do is confess with their mouth that you are Lord.  I pray that they make the move to live their lives for you, always partake of you, and enjoy the sweetness of your Spirit alive and active in their lives.  May the only addiction Alyssa and Kyle have in life be You!
