Psalms 34:8 NLT Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in Him!
Children have the tendency to automatically dislike food they’re not familiar with. As parents, it’s our duty to make them try the food before they say they don’t like it. Often, they’ll end up liking the food, but that would’ve never happened if they didn’t try it first.
It’s the same way when it comes to God’s ways. People have the tendency to automatically dislike doing things God’s way. Nine times out of ten, they haven’t tried it yet. They assume it will be too hard or restricting. They assume the benefits of God don’t outweigh our efforts.
In this verse, David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, instructs us to try/trust God and His ways so that we’ll see that He’s good. He not only guarantees that God is good, but he guarantees there’s joy on the other side of our efforts.
Don’t be like immature children refusing to trust God’s way of doing, being, and believing right. Do things God’s way and enjoy the benefits.
