Sniff, sniff; it looks and smells good, but does it taste good? You will never know if something is sweet, sour, bitter, bland, or spicy unless you try the flavor; tasting it lets you know.
You’ve heard, seen, and “smelled” the sweetness in the lives of
people who call themselves Christians. Their testimonies of God’s presence, mercy,
and compassion are inspiring, and you wonder what that would be like for you. But
you will never know until you experience the Lord Jesus yourself.
“O taste and see that the Lord
is good; blessed is he that trusteth in Him.” Psalm 34:8
The psalmist personally experienced the Lord’s nearness, protection, guidance, and goodness and encouraged others (us) to try Him. Jesus wants seekers to find and “taste” Him—try His flavor and experience what He has to offer. Life is sometimes bitter and other times sweet, but the writer says blessed (happy) are those who put their trust in the Lord. Like David, you will experience joy, God’s goodness, and the benefits of His presence for yourself when you know Him personally. Taste and see for yourself that the Lord is good.
