O Taste and See

/ Gail Johnson / 10 Comments

O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is he that trusteth in Him (Proverb 34:8 KJV).

I enjoy being outside around God’s creation. Especially during the early morning hours when the world is quiet. When I focus on my Creator I can’t help but create.

One morning, I captured the sunshine just as it peeked through the trees. What a display of colors!

Early morning light

Filters through the trees

Creation beckons

Come, taste and see

—

The Lord’s faithfulness

Around you displayed

Mercies unfailing

Hope for this day

And patience, experience; and experience, hope. Romans 5:4

It’s hard to be patient when learning new things or dealing with health issues. I tend to have more patience with others than I do with myself.

Yet, Paul reminds us that through our patience we learn. And when looking back, we discover our prior learning offers hope for the future.

I found this quote when preparing for this month’s theme and thought I’d share it with you. I’ve it posted where I can see it every day. I hope it encourages you too!
