Focal Point: Pt 2 - 5-Day Devotional: Jesus Forgives - Day 1

Reading: Psalm 34:1-8

Devotional: "Taste and see that the Lord is good." This isn't just an intellectual exercise—it's an invitation to personally experience God's character. You can hear about Dr. Pepper's 23 flavors, but until you taste it yourself, you don't truly know. The same is true with God's goodness. Perhaps life hasn't always been good, but that doesn't change who God is. He remains constant, never shifting like shadows. Today, don't just believe God is good because someone told you—ask Him to reveal His goodness to you personally. When trials come, remember that God's goodness isn't dependent on your circumstances. He is your refuge, always available, always faithful. Take time today to recall specific moments when you've tasted His goodness in your life.

Reflection Question: When have you personally experienced God's goodness in a difficult season?
