Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes - TopicsExpress



          

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing. Psalm 34:8-9 Taste and see does not mean, Check out Gods credentials. Instead it is a warm invitation; Try this; I know youll like it. When we take that first step of obedience in following God, we cannot help discovering that he is good and kind. When we begin the Christian life, our knowledge of God is partial and incomplete. As we trust him daily, we experience how good he is. You say you belong to the Lord, but do you fear him? To fear the Lord means to show deep respect and honor to him. We demonstrate true reverence by our humble attitude and genuine worship. Reverence was shown by Abraham (Genesis 17:2-4), Moses (Exodus 3:5-6), and the Israelites (Exodus 19:16-24). Their reactions to Gods presence varied, but all deeply respected him. Life Application Study Bible NIV Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. James 1:12 The crown of life is like the victory wreath given to winning athletes (see 1 Corinthians 9:25). Gods crown of life is not glory and honor here on earth, but the reward of eternal life--living with God forever. The way to be in Gods winners circle is by loving him and staying faithful even under pressure. Life Application Study Bible NIV
