Taste Test

Psalms 34:8 ESV
“Oh taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”

When David says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good,” he is calling us to figuratively take a test of God’s goodness. We, generally our human nature is not trusting. David is challenging us to taste and prove that God is good. David says for us to try and experience God for yourselves and find out exactly how satisfyingly good God is.

The apostle Peter applies the same language in 1 Peter 2:3 when he says, “You have tasted that the Lord is good.” We taste and see His goodness when we contemplate His holiness and infinite righteousness.

We delight in His goodness when we appreciate the cost of Christ’s sacrifice for our salvation. To taste and see that the Lord is good, we must trust God and seek Him as our sole source of protection and provision.

The only way to genuinely taste and see that the Lord is good is to put the matter to the test, to try and experience His goodness for ourselves.

Prayer:
Father, I have seen Your goodness and mercies, I believe in You and Your holiness. Today, I’m leaning on you! My solem desire is that I try to get everyone one to taste and see that God is good.
