Oh, taste and see!

"Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good." Psalm 34:8
What a privilege to taste of the Lord's goodness! I'm so excited that we can use this blog to share His goodness with one another! As part of the Women's Enrichment Ministry of FBC Springville, I will be sharing Scriptures, devotional thoughts, and biblical teaching with you. Please feel free to respond with comments and questions. Isn't it interesting that our conversations will be electronically recorded and stored? I just love knowing that if our conversations honor Him, God will also be keeping a record! Malachi 3:16 says, "Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name." I want us to keep those heavenly scribes busy!
In addition to sharing honey from the comb, I will try to use this blog as a way of keeping you updated about upcoming "Taste & See" events, conferences, retreats, and mission projects. I'm really new at this, and I'll be busy (not as busy as those heavenly scribes, I'm sure!) trying to homeschool and train up my four children. I promise to do my best, though.
Oh, how I love the Lord Jesus who tasted death for me! It's unimaginable that the very Bread of Life would taste death for lowly sinners (Heb. 2:9)- so that we may taste salvation- that we may sit at the table He's preparing for us (Psalm 23:5)- and partake of His abundant goodness for all eternity! Yes, ladies, if we are His, we can know that, "Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever" (Psalm 23:6).
