What dessert satisfies your sweet tooth? Is it candy, chocolate, or ice cream? Whatever it is,
one thing is for sure—you’ll always find yourself wanting to come back to that satisfying sensation!
However that time of pleasure is momentary and fleeting.
However there is an even far better taste that is not momentary but satisfies continually
and that is when as today’s scripture promises when you taste the goodness of what Jesus offers.
More than any sweet desert, He wants you to seek Him and to know the sweetness of His goodness—
and what is that sweetness? They are that Jesus wants you to know:
- The GOODNESS of His love and forgiveness freeing you from all sin that binds you
- The PRESENCE of His peace within our inner being which clears the air of anxiety, turning fear to faith.
- The FREEDOM of release His words have upon your mind that will help you to think on whatever is
true, honest, praiseworthy and of good report
- The INCREASE of your energy to follow His direction for your life to exemplify His goodness before others
These are the delightful pleasures Jesus gives when we taste His goodness. Unlike that tasty dessert which is
but for a moment, His gift is not temporary, but will last beyond the challenges of this world and
bring lasting satisfaction.
Lamentation 3:25 reminds us, “The Lord is good to the one who seeks Him.” therefore seek
Christ and taste His goodness continuously.
