Taste And See

"Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!"
Psalms 34:8

As I was eating my breakfast this morning, and coming to the end of my bowl of Cheerios, I began to think to myself, "This tastes so good, I think I want some more."  Immediately a voice (yes, I believe it was the Lord's) said, "I know you think you want more, but do your really need it?  Why do you want it?"  "Because it tastes so good!" I thought to myself.  Then it hit me.  This.  This right here is our problem.  We live on the "tastes and feels" of this world.  Tasting the temporary goodness of chocolate, or sugar and running back for more.  Feeling the temporary goodness in fleshly desires, and seeking more.  Rarely are we taking the time to truly taste and see how good the Lord is.  Sure we get glimpses of His goodness, but we don't go back for seconds or thirds, like we do for chocolate.  Friend, we have been given the blessed opportunity to step back, re-evaluate what we're "feeding" in our lives, and really learn that it is the Lord that tastes so good.  His goodness lasts forever, and comes with zero guilt.  Do you see that today?  He longs to fill your voids, and satisfy your sweet tooth.  "Blessed" the Word says, is the one who trusts in Him.  My earnest prayer today, is that each of us will run into the arms of Jesus when we feel the need to seek chocolate or ice cream just because "it tastes good."  That we will take the time to experience what it's like to fully trust Him with our weight loss.  Today, let's go on a journey together and "taste and see that the Lord is good!"  Let's pray:

Dear God,
Today I seek You to satisfy my sweet tooth.  God, if I am able to truly "taste and see"  how good You really are, I know I will be able to conquer the temptations of candy, chocolate, and ice cream.  I want to run into Your arms, forever experiencing how good You are.  I put my trust in You and You alone today.  Thank You for Your continued guidance in my weight loss.  I love You!
In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen

E4M DAILY STRATEGY:  
If we are to "taste and see" how good the Lord is, it's imperative that we seek Him throughout the day, over food.  

Today, your E4M Daily Strategy is to stop at least three times throughout your day today, and spend 5-10 minutes intentionally seeking God. Make it a point to get alone with God and speak to Him. Focusing on Him, to truly "taste and see" how good He really is; thanking, and praising Him for what He is doing in your wellness journey.  Spending dedicated time throughout the day with Him in this way, builds your trust in Him, and the Word says,
"Blessed is the one who trusts in Him."
