Taste and See

I would say that I’m in foodie in every sense of the word! I love to eat, love different cuisines, and trying something new but I always go back to my favorites, Indian, Thai, or South African dishes. The very first forkful of that favorite dish is so very satisfying, the flavors, the aroma, the textures all mixing in perfect harmony. A perfect bite!

No wonder Psalm 34:8 says; “𝑶𝒉, 𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅; 𝑩𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑯𝒊𝒎!” Taste is such an important sense, and I’m sure David knew when he wrote this that if you had a tiny taste of the LORD’s goodness you would certainly want a bite. And once you had a bite you would want a spoonful. Of course, if you had a spoonful, you would want the whole bowl and then you would want the feast, that banqueting table set before you!

The interesting thing about tasting God’s goodness is that the more you taste, the more you want, and the more you want the more there is, totally contrary to that Chicken Tikka Masala! The more I eat of natural food the fuller I feel, and the more I eat the less there is.

Anyone can tell you that honey is sweet, so deliciously sweet, and can describe the crunch of a good slice of toast but you will never fully understand what they are talking about until you try it yourself. How do we taste and see that the LORD is good? By taking a bite out of the Word of God, by digging into a meal of the Holy Bible. Hebrews 6:5 talks about those who have, “𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆.”

Today I pray that you would begin to dig into the Word of God, that you would take a taste and see for yourself how very good God is, how you can absolutely trust Him and take Him at His Word. I pray that as you taste you would then want the bowl, and the feast, and would always have a longing to be found in God’s Word. 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝘆, 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗮 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲. 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗲! 🦋💕
