I taste and see that the LORD is good.

Today’s Scripture: Psalm 34:8, ESV – “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! “

Have you ever tasted the LORD? Can you feel David’s heart in the Psalms? Here in Psalm 34, I too can proclaim as David did in 34:4 that I sought the LORD, and He answered me.

My soul boasts in Him. Sometimes our words cannot measure the praise we have for the LORD. Our praising is a soul thing. Deep and personal like our own tastes and what we see. When we have experienced the LORD’S deliverance, He moves from a thought process to a soulful praise.

I am learning to fear the LORD and to praise Him continually. When I am there, I know it and when I am not, I know that too.

When we take refuge in Him and know it is He who lives in us, protects us, and saves us it connects with our soul. As David says in Psalm 34:18, the LORD is near.

Can you taste Him?

Today’s Prayer: LORD, I praise You. My soul praises You. Thank you for answering me when I seek You. Thank You for coming near to the brokenhearted and the crushed in spirit. You and Your angel live with us. LORD thank You for touching my soul so it can taste and see You. Thank you for continually teaching me to fear You in my soul. Amen
