Psalm 34:1-14 (NIV)
1 I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
2 I will glory in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3 Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
6 This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
9 Fear the Lord, you his holy people,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
11 Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
What attributes of God’s goodness are evident in the psalm?
Consider how wonderful a flavoursome food is in your mouth – such a good taste is a delightful, and even powerful, experience.
How might you describe the taste of the Lord’s goodness?
Sweet? Delicious? Tasty?
What about succulent? Tangy? Spicy? Mouth-watering?
Reflect on the difference between being told about God’s goodness, and meeting with God yourself – seeing him face to face and experiencing more of his goodness.
What difference does God’s goodness make to the way you live your life?

A Tabor ASCEND Workshop Get in QUICK to redeem your EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT!
ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
Recently the idea of “Spiritual Disciplines” has become more popular within Christian circles, referring to activities like regular prayer, bible reading, fasting, and retreats. However, such disciplines can prove incredibly difficult in our culture where convenience and instant gratification are the norm.
This workshop explores a different approach to Spiritual Disciplines, treating them as “Means of Grace;” they are God’s grace which He offers us, but also “means,” or practices through which we might be led into His presence to flourish.
