Psalm 34:8
Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusteth in Him.
Many years ago, I did a banner for the Church on this verse. On the banner, I put a basket filled with fruit of all kinds; it said, "taste and see that the LORD is good". What I wanted to show in the banner is that when you taste of the goodness of the LORD, you are really eating the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, gentleness, meekness, faith, and temperance. The fruit of the Spirit is contained in the basket of the unconditional love of JESUS.
Tasting, is a act of our will and desire. The LORD is Good, His mercy is everlasting and His truth endures forever, BUT we have to take in to ourselves the goodness that GOD gives to us, freely What I mean is this, that basket of fruit is pretty, but it tastes good only if you eat it.
Trust in GOD is the act of our will and desire. The reward of trusting in GOD is the blessing of peace. We are secure in the shelter of the Almighty, if we taste of the goodness of GOD; one taste and you will yearn for more.
