TRUST IN GOD - 4

Psalm 34: 8

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusteth in Him.

TASTE THE SWEETNESS OF THE LORD

True love is so sweet that there are no words to describe it. Love is tender, kind, gentle, caring and self-sacrificing; read I Corinthians 13 and see how the Scripture speaks of love. All the words that have ever been formed can not express the love the the LORD JESUS has for us. All the attributes of GOD are found in full measure in the expression of the love of GOD. It is true love; eternal love; and way beyond our understanding.

The verse from Psalm 34 invites us to "taste and see that the LORD is good". When we put our trust in the LORD, He is faithful to show us the sweetness of His love. Every taste of the LORD brings greater and greater loveliness. 

Pastor Randy told the story of a Pastor who went to see a man who had rejected GOD for most of his life. The man didn't want to let the Pastor in to his home, but allowed the Pastor to enter for a drink of water. On the table, in the kitchen, was a bowl of oranges and the Pastor asked for one; the man agreed. The Pastor pealed the orange and took a bite of one piece. Then he asked the man if the orange was sweet or sour? The man said, "How should I know!" The Pastor replied, "Right, you can't know unless you taste it." Likewise, you can't know REAL LOVE AND SWEETNESS unless you taste and see that the LORD is good.

BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTETH IN HIM
