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

I love the variety of teas at a tea party. My favorite is black tea and I love chai too. More recently I started drinking green tea. As a tea bag emerges in hot water, the tea leaves are triggered to move and start the diffusion process. It is fascinating to watch the water as it changes till it’s rich in color, taste, and aroma. 

Are you a tea lover? A coffee lover? Each one of them goes through a process to taste good. Notice in today’s key verse from Psalms that we have “good” and “refuge” in the same verse. Our Christian walk is not promised to be easy but God is good and He is faithful. Just like the tea bag, we are often emerging through the waters of life. We know that we can find refuge in Him.

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for Your goodness and Your faithfulness. As I taste and see that You are good, help me remember to also lean into You when I need a time of refuge. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
