Have you ever had a “bad taste in your mouth” after experiencing something unpleasant? Have you heard people say they are “fed up” with the news or that they can’t “stomach” another …..whatever.

That’s where Christ followers can come in and be what 2 Timothy 2:21 describes as vessels of Christ. “Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.”

Yes, as Christ’s vessel, we can be intentional about making sure we are a clean vessel God can use by confessing and repenting of any sin in our life. As a cleansed vessel, we can be useful to the Lord, to pour out His goodness on others.

How can we be a vessel of God’s goodness? What can we do?

We can dish out Christ’s love in big hooping scoops.

We can pour out His kindness to those who are going through a hard time.

We can serve His Word to people who are deceived and offer them the way to salvation in Christ.

Psalm 34:8 says, “O taste and see that the Lord is GOOD; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!”

God is good. Will you be intentional about being a cleansed vessel who the Lord can use to serve His goodness to those who desperately need Him?

LORD, You are GOOD. Use us as Your vessels to pour forth Your goodness, love, kindness, and truth to others.

You can be a vessel of God’s goodness today by sharing this blog post with someone who may need encouragement or someone who doesn’t know the Lord. Share by clicking on the social media icons, below, or by using the “Forward to a Friend” email button.

Praise to GOD Who is GOOD

04/19/2018

“O taste and see that the Lord is GOOD; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!”

Psalm 34:8

Many people have never “tasted” the Lord. Some don’t even know about Jesus. They’ve been raised in homes where Sunday is just another day. They don’t own a Bible. Jesus’s name may only be a cuss word to them. They’ve never “tasted” and seen that God is good. Yet, they’re starving for something good in their lives. We can tell them. How? Following are resources to help you share Christ with others:

Discovering His Passion shows us how Christ opened conversations about Himself, the Spirit, and eternal life. By studying how He gently engaged others, we can learn to engage others in spiritual conversations.

Taste and See that the Lord is Good cookbook is filled with tried and true recipes. More importantly, it has a Bible verse on every recipe page, how someone can come to know Christ as Savior, and “Blessings and Graces” to say at mealtime. This is a great gift for Mother’s Day, Graduation, or just to say “I care;” an easy way to share God’s GOODNESS with others.

Know Jesus as Savior is a link you can copy and paste in an email or text message when talking with someone about Christ.

God is GOOD. Let’s share the good news of His GOODNESS with others.

LORD, You are GOOD! Help us share Your NAME and spread Your LOVE to those who don’t know You.
