Good Morning!
Psalm
34:8 “O taste and see that the lord IS GOOD: blessed is the man that trusteth
in him.”
Back in the
1980’s, “Readers digest” published an article stating that women who haven’t
eaten for at least 7 hours prior to shopping, spend $5.76 more than their
normal supermarket purchase. If they’ve eaten within two hours before shopping,
they spend $7.45 less than usual!
Christian,
this verse is a reminder to thoroughly examine the Lord in your life. How
better to do that than to spend time in His word? For when you do, you will
certainly find that God is good!
David would
say in Psalm 119:103 “How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter
than honey to my mouth!”
If we would
only take the time to savor the word of God in our life, to consume it each
day, to partake of the bread of life that is Jesus Christ, we would learn to SEE
that the Lord is good.
Our faith
would be much improved if we would only take the time to look at our God.
Just as
those women at the supermarket I believe we too would spend less:
We would
spend less time worrying, for we will cast our care upon him!
We would
spend less time bickering, for we would be convinced to be selfless in our
love!
We would
spend less time coveting, for the things of this world become dim in the light
of his glory and grace!
Oh friend,
if you’re saved then you have tasted of the heavenly gift and are made a
partaker of the Holy Ghost according to Hebrews 6:4. So if you have tasted of
such sweet things, why would you not continue to feed yourself with the good
Word of God?
Parting
thought:
The more
you taste of His goodness, the more you will learn to trust Him. Blessed is the
man that trusteth in him!
