“O taste and see that the LORD is good; how blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!” (Psalm 34:8)
We can miss out on delicious foods because we never try them. We turn our noses up and show disdain before we even give them a chance. Sure, french fries and ice cream are an unusual combination, but don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!
Those who have tried the “taste” of a life guided by God get it – this is how life was meant to be lived. Sure, it’s hard sometimes, but it’s also transcendently beautiful, full of contentment, and your cup overflows with unexpected blessings.
A life of service to an unseen God? A life of allegiance to an ancient book that most of society laughs at? Seems like an unusual recipe for joy, but don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it.
