The Lord Is Good

"Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!" Psalm 34:8

The Christmas season is a time when our taste buds really get a full work out, and its wonderful!  This past week I was given a cookie snack that looked like an acorn.  It looked cute enough, but tasted even better.  It is very easy for me to describe to you what the snack looked like, I already mentioned it looked like an acorn, and that is easy for you to picture.  It is a much more difficult task to describe to you how it tasted....it was a tasty, crunchy, peanut buttery, and chocolate, sort of treat.  The fact is, that the words I use cannot give the true sense of how good this goodie tasted.  The best I would be able to do is to give you one of these acorn cookies and say, taste and see for yourself how good it is.
Isn't it the same when we try to share exactly how wonderful it is to walk in Jesus?  We can describe Jesus, who He is, what He has accomplished, and how to receive Him as Savior and Lord.  But words can fall short when we try to explain His love, joy, and peace in our lives.  The best we can do is present who He is, and plead, "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good." 
The key for us then, is to be continually walking in, and tasting of, the goodness of the Lord.  Our best witness is being able to offer the fullness of life in Jesus, a life we know to be good because we have tasted of it ourselves.
