A Little God Time for Men

DAY 4 OF 7

Experience

It takes time and practice to hear God; this is not for those of us in a hurry. Sometimes we encounter God the most when we are most desperate for him to come through and rescue us from trouble. I wish it wasn’t that way, but God doesn’t seem to mind, for he is always patient and full of lovingkindness. As we know God in the highs and lows of our everyday life, we discover just how good he is. For the writer of this psalm, the terror and dread of verse 4 that caused fear is replaced by the proper fear and reverence before God. The proper fear of God removes us from the fears of our daily life.

David wrote that the blessed person is the one who takes refuge in God (Psalm 34:8). Refuge is not found in the security of our investments, the authority of our job title, or even the devotion of our family and friends. Refuge is found in God. There is both joy and comfort when we step out and try God for ourselves. When we get a taste of the joy and goodness of God, both inner temptations and outer enemies lose their power against us. Those who taste, who drink deeply of God’s presence and provision, will find their joy in him.

God, I’m ready to try something new. I’m ready to embark on a new adventure to see you work in my life. I want to experience more of you. You are good.
