Because you are good

Like newborn infants, desire the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow up into your salvation, if you have tasted that the Lord is good. (1 Peter 2:2-3)

Lord, I have tasted your goodness in my life time and again.

You chose me. You made me your priest. You made me part of your kingdom. You have made me your prized possession. You called me out of the darkness I was in and brought me into your marvelous light.

I was once not part of your people. But now I am. I once had not received your mercy. But now I have.

I was like a sheep going astray. But you, Good Shepherd, brought me back.

You are good.

Now, increase my hunger for your word.

Christian books are great. I can even get good information from non-Christians at times.

But only in your Word, can I get pure, unadulterated truth from you.

Truth that gives me life.

Truth that reveals who you are.

So I dive into your Word, Lord.

Not because I have to.

Not because it’s the “Christian thing to do.”

But because I love you.

I have tasted your goodness.

And through your Word, I want to taste your goodness even more.

In Your precious name, I pray, amen.
