"Oh taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him."
                                                                                             Psalm 34:8. NKJV

He truly is so good to all who trust in Him. Have you tasted how good He really is yet? You see it is so easy to feel that God is some great figure in the sky, who is unapproachable. But that is the wrong view of Him completely. He is interested in all that we do.

Rather like parents love to hear what their child has been doing at school and see the pictures they have drawn, likewise, so is God interested in our day and what we have been doing during it. He's our Father which in Aramaic is pronounced Abba Father which literally means Daddy.  (Romans 8:15). He is our Daddy and He wants to be recognised as such. In fact, he loves us more than our own parents could ever love us, even though that may be difficult to imagine. Yet it is true.

He's interested in the large and important things in our lives; but He's also interested in the smaller things too. I have been searching for a particular vinyl album for some years now but it had always evaded me. The other day, I saw it in a store but sadly, when I went to purchase it, it had gone. I couldn't believe it. It was understandably, quite disappointing. However, the very next day, my wife mentioned a record store that I had never noticed before, so we visited there. Guess what, I found it. It was the only one in the store and was a limited edition with a picture disc. How great is that? God knew that I wanted this album but He wanted me to have the best and waited until it was available. When it was, He led me to it. This is how good God is and how much He is interested in the less important things, to others, but important to us.

We need to see Him as our Daddy, more and more but not at the risk of forgetting that He is God and should be treated as such. He is not Santa Clause, but He is our friend. It is so heart-warming to realise that the God of the Universe, the God who created us and the world we live in, wants to spend personal time with each of us.

Have you tasted and seen that the LORD is good? He wants that personal relationship with you, right now. Why not spend some quality time with Abba Father - Your Daddy.
