O Taste And See That The Lord Is Good

"Taste and see that The LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.  Fear The LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing."  Psalms 34:8-9 (NIV)

Here King David is encouraging the people by telling them that they ought to try The Lord God because He is good.  He is good to them and good for them.  He said blessed is the man who comes to The Lord, who hides himself in Him, and who allows The Lord to shelter and protect him.  David exhorts them to seek and worship The Lord and to reverence Him with awe.  The Lord God will provide for those who do this, and He will supply all of their needs.

"O taste and see that The Lord is good" is an invitation to try Him.  Not in the sense that we sample a little bit of food, but more like jumping into deep water and getting totally immersed in Him.  Accepting The Lord is an all or none type of situation, there is no "little bit" or going half way.  We need to believe in Him and ask Him to come into our lives.  Then we need to start acting Christ-like. (John 14:15 and 14:23)  If He is not in your life, it is because you have not invited Him in. (Revelation 3:20)  He will knock at the door of your heart, but He will not come in without an invitation.  Once He is in our lives, do not relegate Him to a seat at the back of the bus, let Him take charge and direct out path. (Psalms 37:23 and Proverbs 3:6)  If we do this, then He will supply all of our needs. (Philippians 4:19)
