Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not his benefits—who forgives all your sins, and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things …( Psalm 103:5)

I had a really great sandwich yesterday.

Seriously.  I was super hungry, and I grabbed dinner at a sandwich shop which shall remain nameless but has to do with underground trains.  It was delicious—full of fat and processed meats and indigestion peppers and dairy products and gluten and all that good stuff.

Served on a cheese roll, yet.  Oh, delight!

God satisfied my desire with a good thing.

Scripture made manifest on a cheese roll.

Now, don’t get your knickers in a twist.  I’m not trying to trivialize God’s work in our lives.  I know that he works on a much grander scale—home and health and family and eternal security—the big stuff.  But he also works in little ways, and it’s good to appreciate that, too.  I mean, if God cares about the sparrow, if he counts the ever-decreasing number of hairs on my head, why wouldn’t he give me something tasty, just because he likes me?

After all, I am his beloved.

As are you.

So keep your eyes open today.  Look for the small ways he is blessing you.

Just something to chew on—pun intended.

Happy Tuesday, Beloved.
