Tasting

Gods Goodness PieHoliday season is upon us, a time to give thanks and celebrate Godsgoodness with family and friends. And eatmaybe toomuch!

Family recipes passed down through the generations help us create all thosedelicious foods we enjoy at this time of year, but they also tempt us to loseour self-control. And, unfortunately, the guilt we may experience from ourover-indulgences wont taste as sweet as Aunt Marys homemade apple pie.But the good news is there are sweet things we can taste any time of year,and even over-indulge in, without guilt or tight-fitting jeans!

God has given us a recipe for guilt-free, joy-filled living, but its not a recipefor the food we should put in our stomachsits for the thoughts we can put

in our minds. Found in Philippians 4, Gods Goodness Pie recipe mightread like this:

Ingredients:Beauty, truth, goodness, purity, honor, praise, virtue

Directions:

As you experience your everyday life, gather your ingredientsthings thatare beautiful, pure, praise-worthy, honorable, good, virtuous, and true.

Allow each one to fill your mind with the beauty and truth of Godsgoodness and love.

Taste and see that the Lord is good as you savor the sweet taste of thepraise that forms on your lips in gratitude to God for all the beauty, love,and goodness he brings into your life!

God knows we struggle with self-control and guiltwith food and in many other areas of our lives. Alltoo often we make the issue the focus instead ofGod. So this year, instead of focusing on the foodwe eat (or over-eat) during the holidays, lets focuson tasting his goodness. Because his greatestdesire is that we experience his love, rest in hispeace, and be filled with his joy.

And theres no pie recipe sweeter tasting than that!
