Taste and See
Read Psalms 32-35

Ps 32:7 You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.
&
Ps 33:11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
&
Ps 34:8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
&
Ps 35:28 My tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praises all day long.

WHERE DO WE go when the hard days come? We go and hide in the Lord.
What do we do when the world says, “Come, it’s really better over here.” We go and hide in the Lord.
What do we do when disease weakens and seeks to destroy? We go and hide in the Lord.
What do we do when there’s nowhere to turn, when the question looms large, “Now what?” We go and hide in the Lord.
To hide in the Lord does not mean we are cowardly and weak. To hide in the Lord means we seek his strength and wisdom. To hide in the Lord means we let go of what we think is best, and we seek what is best in him.
To hide in the Lord means we cover our lives with the blanket of his truth. We “taste and see that the Lord is good”. Oh, he is so good my friends. He is true and right and complete. Let his wisdom reign over all you think and say and do. You will taste and see that the LORD is good.


Pause and Consider: how delicious it is to taste God’s love on you.
