This invitation to taste and see is one that extends far beyond the confines of our dinner plates. Just as we savor the flavors of our meal, we are called to experience the goodness of God in every aspect of our lives. His goodness surrounds us; it is evident in the beauty of creation, the love of family and friends, and the countless daily miracles that often go unnoticed.
Mealtime offers a unique opportunity for thanksgiving and reflection. In the simple act of eating, we are reminded of God’s provision and care. As we partake of the food set before us, we are reminded of the spiritual feast God lays out for us daily. His Word is the bread of life, and His promises are the living water that quenches our deepest thirst.
Better is a dish of vegetables where love is present. Than a fattened ox served with hatred. “Proverd 15:16”
It is not only in the moments of abundance that we should seek God’s presence. This scripture also reminds us to find refuge in Him. Life is filled with its share of challenges and trials, but in the midst of them, we can find solace in God’s unwavering love and grace. Just as we gather around this table, God invites us to gather around His presence, finding comfort and strength in His embrace.
As we eat, let us not forget those who may not have a full table before them tonight. May our hearts be stirred with compassion, moving us to reach out to those in need, and sharing God’s blessings with others in both tangible and intangible ways. By doing so, we become vessels of God’s love, extending His goodness to those around us.
Let us cherish this time of fellowship and nourishment, both physical and spiritual. Let us remember to taste and see the Lord’s goodness in every moment of our lives, giving thanks for His provision and finding refuge in His unwavering love.
And as we step away from this table, may our hearts be filled with gratitude and a renewed commitment to be His hands and feet, sharing His love with a world in need.
