Taste
And See
That
The
Lord Is Good.
Scripture
Psalm
34
Observation
What
is your view of God?
Your
view of God and my view of God will determine how often we pray.
When
I ask people how often they pray I often hear them say something
like, “Well I pray at night before I go to sleep.” How about you,
often do you pray?
It
is our view of God that fuels our prayer life.
If
you and I have a high view of God, if we view him as our Heavenly
Father, then we will talk to him as a child talks to his or her
father. And if we really believe that God is our Heavenly Father and
that he loves and cares about us then we will go to him all the time
in prayer.
The
other day I was helping my son work on his brother Tim's car and we
were having a hard time getting a bolt loose because the head of the
bolt had been rounded off. I said, Eddie (he spells his name Eddie
not Eddy like me) we need to pray about this. So I prayed, “Father,
help us get this bolt out!” We got back under the car, beat a
socket on to the head of the bolt and out it came!
“Taste
and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge
in him!”
Our
Heavenly Father wants us to talk to him about everything, nothing is
too small, nothing is too large. He is the Good, Good Father.
God
is not like a father – He is Father.
Psalm
55:16-17
But I will call
on God, and the Lord will rescue me. Morning, noon,
and night I cry out in my distress, and the Lord hears my
voice.
Application
I
will talk to my Heavenly Father all day long.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that I can take everything to You in prayer. You know
me like no one else knows me. You are the only one who can meet my
deepest needs. You are always there when I need You. You never are
away. You never sleep. You care about every detail of my life. You
delight in me. I don't deserve Your love and I am not worthy to
receive this kind of love, but You give it to me anyway. Thank You
for allowing me the privilege of calling You Father. You are awesome.
Thank You for hearing and answering my prayers!
