Taste and See?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who taste and see the Lord is good. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Years ago, I attended a Harvest Crusade with Greg Laurie at Angel Stadium in Orange County, California. Prior to the event, there was a group in the audience that shouted, “God is good.” Others responded from around the stadium, “All the time.” The first group joined by hundreds of others thundered back, “All the time, God is good.” It started again as more people joined the call and response.
Imagine singers praising God with the words of Psalm 34:8-9 (ESV):
“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,
for those who fear him have no lack!”
The English Standard Version regarding Psalm 34:8 says,
“The verb taste (V. 8) which in the OT [Old Testament] is commonly used in the literal sense, is a metaphor of personal experience; the NT [New Testament] uses this metaphor widely (e.g. John 8:52; Heb. 2:9; 6:4).”
Personally experience God. Ask Jesus into your heart if you have not already done so. Take refuge in him.
