What Makes My Kids Cry Today

Psalm 34:8 Devotional

📖 “O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” — Psalm 34:8 (KJV)

💭 Reflection

The floor had crumbs.

The toddler had no boundaries.

And before I could stop him, his little tongue was dangerously close to the kitchen tile where cinnamon toast had once been.

“Don’t lick the floor!” I yelled—because apparently that’s a real sentence moms have to say now.

But in that moment, God whispered something to my heart:

You settle for crumbs, too.

You reach for what’s easy. You forget you have a seat at My table.

Oof.

Because it’s true.

How often do I chase spiritual crumbs—little boosts of comfort, temporary encouragements, quick fixes—when God is offering me real nourishment?

How often do I scroll for peace, vent instead of pray, or let busyness be my comfort food?

Psalm 34:8 says:

“Taste and see that the Lord is good…”

It’s not a suggestion to snack.

It’s an invitation to feast.

To linger.

To savor.

To stop licking crumbs off the floor and start sitting at the King’s table.

🙏 Prayer

Jesus,

I’m sorry for settling.

For chasing quick comforts when You offer lasting peace.

Help me hunger for the things that truly fill—Your Word, Your presence, Your truth.

Let me teach my kids to taste and see Your goodness… not just cinnamon toast.

Amen.

💛 Your Encouragement Today:

God isn’t rationing grace.

He’s not tossing down crumbs from a distance.

He’s inviting you—right now—to taste and see that He is good.

Don’t lick the floor.

Sit at the table.
