Taste And See That The Lord Is Good

-July 22, 2025-

Good morning beloved, happy Tuesday,

“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him.”

(Psalm 34:8).

We can see by our knowledge and understanding that the Lord is good, but even more by personal experience. David, the author of this rich and beautiful psalm, walked with the Lord and praised and thanked him continually.

David found the Lord to be his rock, his deliverer, his fortress, his hiding place. He spent time with the Lord and trusted Him to see Him through. He said in Psalm 34:4, “Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.” In fact, he uses this word, “Oh” three times in this psalm (verses 3, 8. 9).

This expression found in our verse today is so wonderful, “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good.” When you taste something that is toothy you want more. It may be for example, delicious ice cream. The expression is so true, “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.”

When you taste the Lord, you want more of Him. Often, grocery or club stores offer free samples. It is just a small amount, just enough for you to get you to buy it so you can have more. Anyone tastes Jesus will want more and more of Him.

David also uses the word, “see.” We not only taste but we see the goodness of the Lord. God’s goodness is best seen in the trials we are going through. We don’t always know why we experience what we do, but we trust His goodness and love one day at a time.

Have a blessed day tasting and seeing Jesus. Stay safe and healthy.

We need more, we want more, and in Jesus we have all that He has in store.
