Tasty Goodness

Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!

How does one “taste” the Lord’s goodness, exactly?

When we taste a food, it requires that we pick it up, place it in our mouths and chew.  The food doesn’t jump in our mouths, but it becomes appealing to us by smell and the way it looks, and it often depends on who prepared the food as well.

God’s word is like a tasty meal prepared just for us, with all things good for our health and enjoyment.

However, we have to ingest it on purpose, by taking it in and chewing on it a while, in order to see that it is good.

When’s the last time you tasted the Lord’s goodness in your life?

Look up at the sun, around you at the flowers, and below you at the stable ground beneath your feet, and soak it all in.

The Lord is good.

Taste and see!
