Taste of the Lord's goodness Psalm 34:8

Taste and see that the  Lord  is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. (Psalms 34:8 NIV)

Dear Father,

The world lures us with enticement of false goodness. As the fruit in the garden, it appears good and pleasing and satisfying. It appears to give us knowledge, wisdom, importance. But it is truly a lure and as the fish in the lake swallow the lure to their demise, so we too are taken down the path of destruction when we take the evil one's lure.

I pray that these little ones will taste your goodness so that they understand the real thing to distinguish it from the artificial lure. This verse tells us to try you out, to take you for a test drive to see what you will do. I pray that these little ones will do that. That they will taste of you and your goodness and by that they will know what true goodness is. As they taste you and thereby begin to trust you, I pray that they fully take refuge in you, that they fully place their trust in you as the supplier of true goodness.

Amen
