“Taste and See”

taste and see
 
by Dona Hake
 
Whenever I have our Granddaughters at our house I love seeing them enjoying their food when they sit down to eat. Sometimes you wonder where they put it! There have been times in the past where they have seen me eating something they have never tried, and like any little one they have said, “No way! I’m not trying that!” I immediately respond, “Whooooa….we do not say that until we have at least tried it first!” If they at least try it and do not like it then they may walk away from it. I love when they apprehensively yet willingly try something and they light up like little Christmas trees and declare that they love it.
 

There are many times now when I finally sit down to eat after feeding them that our youngest Granddaughter will come and look up at me and say, “I’d like to try what you have.” I can not begin to tell you the times that my plate was handed over to that little girl, and I would just make myself a new helping. Why? Because I am delighted that she tried it and could not stop eating it!

 
I believe there are so many things about God that we have not even touched nor tasted of simply because we get comfortable with where we are at. We cannot get “full” of all the good things that He has for those that love Him. God wants to be in every inch of our life and we need to be aware of our need for every good thing that He has to offer us.
 
Psalm 34:8
The Message
“Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see—
how good God is.
Blessed are you who run to him.”

Psalm 34:8 (NCV)
” Examine and see how good the Lord is.
Happy is the person who trusts him.”

 
 

Today I encourage you to EXAMINE, OPEN YOUR MOUTH, AND TASTE!!! Happy are those that trust Him to show Himself in ways that they know not of!
