“Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.”
Oftentimes, we say that the Lord is good, and we are delighted with the taste of Him, His Word, when things are pleasant in our lives. But this morning during some quiet time, I sensed a deeper awakening to this verse that helped me to see that the Lord Himself and His Word are always good….no matter my circumstances. I am reaching a new place of understanding in my journey with Him. When I hear difficult news, lab results that send a chill of fear up my spine…I can now fully and whole heartedly say: “Yet I will praise the Lord!” I praise Him because He is good, faithful, pure, holy, love, merciful, kind, gentle in all his ways. If my circumstances are difficult, this does not change who He is. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
