Pastor eugene did such a great job going through this psalm, i have benefited from his sharing, hope you all have to. =) (shuwen,you can watch it on webcast.) So i wont elaborate on what he has shared, but just adding on sth which i have learnt from the psalm.
I like the verse, "taste and see that the Lord is good." It's like, God is good, and He gives us a chance to experience His goodness in our lives, so that our lives will be good too! And of course, this psalm adds on the part of fearing God. Fearing God means to show deep respect and honor to Him, to obey Him in His ways. So we come before Him with humble attitude and genuine worship. Because when we obey God, we experience more of Him and His goodness everyday.
And the promise is that we will lack no good things. But it may not mean that we will get what we want right... i guess it's more like an assurance from God, that He knows what is best and will give them to us, so that we will not have anything lacking. And... God is really enough, we need to have a greater desire for Him, than for the other desires in our hearts.
yep... and share one last point which i learnt from the life application bible. It says we need to actively seek peace. We often pray for peace in our lives, hearts, families.... but peace doesnt come just like tt. We need to seek it. A person who wants peace cannot be argumentative and contentious. Because peaceful relationships come from our efforts at peacemaking. So real eh... how to have peace, when you yourself are making ugly comments, having negative thoughts and attitudes...
"Father, i really want to taste You and see Your goodness in my life.
Because i want my life to be good. So i will learn to fear You and obey You.
More than that Lord, i know that You are more than enough for me,
with You in my life, my life is good!"
