The aroma of sweet cinnamon apple pie baking in the oven is enough to scent the house like a glade plug in. The smell not only conjures up warmth in your heart, it makes your mouth water thinking of the crisp, sugary taste. You can hardly wait to sink your teeth into this delicacy, and when the apple goodness is gone – you try and snatch up every last buttery crumb.
God’s goodness is better than a piece of apple pie. His goodness is sweet and savory. However, it does not last just for a moment. You will not be scraping the pan wanting more. His goodness and favor lasts a lifetime. His love is a never-ending stream of honey.
Psalm 30:5 notes, “All you saints! Sing your hearts out to God! Thank him to his face! He gets angry once in a while, but across a lifetime there is only love.” (The Message)
– PRAYER –
Lord,
Thank you for your goodness and favor. When I look to you all I can taste and see is sweet love. Thank you for your love that lasts a lifetime. I pray that I will radiate this love to others – when they see me that they will feel your undying goodness. May I always look to you and always be grateful of your love!
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
