Enjoying God’s Creation

In Psalms, it says that we are to “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” I love this verse, mainly because, coming from an Italian family, I like to eat. I also value it in a literal sense - that God has created food that helps us to live healthy and vibrant lives. Plus, He wants us to enjoy viewing His creation. Whether it’s looking at a sunset on the beach, or holding your child for the first time, God is good.

I also find the next part of Psalm 34:8 to be one of the great attributes of our Heavenly Father: "Blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” In a world filled with endless amounts of choices, each vying for your attention and time, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. Insert God’s reassurance in knowing that we can come to Him any time to find safety and peace in His presence.

My hope over the next few days is that you will see how God, in His creation, has given us food to enjoy - but also which foods to enjoy, and which to refrain from eating. In all of this, let’s see how good God is - together!
