“O taste and see that the Lord is good” Psalm 34:8a
“This is the best chocolate you’ll ever put in your mouth” my friend told me as we stood in the Lindt store in Orlando, Florida. “The best?” I asked. “I thought all chocolate was the best…” We both laughed. “No, really, taste and see how good it is!” The words from Psalm 34 that I had read a few days earlier rang clear in my mind. I popped the chocolate in my mouth. My friend was right, it was the best chocolate I had ever tasted! As I savored the amazing flavor, I enjoyed the sweet aroma that surrounded me. Just as I chose to indulge in the delectable confectionaries and breathe in the overwhelming sweet aroma around me, I must choose to taste and see that the Lord is good every day! I must resolve to reach out to sample and savor the delicious sweetness of His Word, then close my eyes and relish in His presence that surrounds me when I allow His truth to penetrate every fiber of my being. His goodness is new every day. I cannot simply allow the truths I have consumed in the past be the extent of what I know of our great God. I must taste His Word every day and encounter a new flavor of truth to enhance the taste buds of my life. Open His Word today and “taste and see that the Lord is good.”
