Psalm 34 - Taste and see

Psalm 34 :

A psalm of David.

The background of this psalm is.

David running away from Saul, come to a place called Gath and they said to themselves, is this not David who is King of the land.

Then David acted as a mad man, he scratching on the walls, his saliva coming out of his mouth and flowing onto his beard.

And then the king of Gath sends him away and he writes this Psalm.

And he says Oh.
Can we shout Ohhhh.

Ohh Taste and see that the Lord is good.

David says Taste and see that the Lord is good.

Too often we just see and we don't know whether He is good.

We look God from a distance and think He might be good because you see other people saying good.

You see others giving testimony and say it is good.

They say it is good.

When you come to worship, when everyone else is excited why you are not able to worship, it is not the problems that you are going through, it is because you have not tasted Him.

Sometimes we think it is our problem that is stopping me to worship. Sometimes its my Wife that stopping me to worship.

Sometimes you say it's my boss that stopping me to worship.

Sometimes it's my children that stopping me to worship.

Noo. It's because you have to tasted.

For the one who tasted you will instantly say He is good.

Gulabjamun.  Good
Faluda - Good

Why you are able to say it's good just by looking at it. Because you have tasted it.

When you get the real taste, your faith will increase, the realm of unseen things you will say He is good.

Sarah said I don't see it, the body is dead
Hebrews 11:
By Faith Sarah conceived
By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.
Hebrews 11:11 NKJV

She is past age. 90. She didn't say I heard some people talking that He is good.

But she tasted and said God is good.

When you taste the food, you say God is good.

Ice cream  or Fruit

Imagine if you have never tasted ice cream and say I don't how it look like. But you kepp looking it and say thi slools like sometging that came out of a chemist experiment.

Looks like a cone in physics lab and probably a mixture of sulphuric acid and some other catylyst and some foam came and this foam looks like this.

You see it and say many people I know say good.

When you goto a museum what do you do. You see.

Church should not be a museum to see but Church should be a place to eat.

John 6:53 NKJV
Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.

Eat and drink.

If you don't taste you are always an outsider, but when you taste Him. You are part of it.

Ohh Taste and see that the Lord is good.
