Drink deeply of the pleasures of this God. Experience for yourself the joyous mercies he gives to all who turn to hide themselves in him. Psalms 34:8 TPT

I always start my mornings with coffee and reading. Just grabbing a single verse to think on while enjoying my favorite beverage is bliss.

Most translations are written, ‘taste and see’, but an interesting fact is that the ‘see’ comes from the Hebrew root word that translates, drink deeply. For me, I tend to drink deeply when I’m extremely thirsty.

What about you? What does this verse do for you? It should instill at least a curiosity. What would it look like to drink deeply of the pleasures of God?

What would your day be like if you were to take time to close your eyes and enjoy His love. To find yourself soaking in it. Basking in those joyous mercies. Smiling up into His face as you feel His arms slide around you and hold you there.

He gives it freely to all who hide themselves in Him. Stand hidden in Him today. Let the light of His presence shift the attention off of you and onto Him. Enjoy His protection and provision, knowing how deeply He cares for you.
