Psalm 34:8:Oh Taste and see that the Lord is good;blessed is the man who trusts in Him
Thought 1:This Psalm is written in one of the most horrible circumstances in David's life.This as prelude He invites all the people to TASTE n See that the Lord is good.The Bible is a book that contains many stories.Its not just STORIES but HOW GOD dealt in those STORIES is what should be noticed.Many a time we feel the BITTERNESS of life that we forget THE GOODNESS of the Lord.When faced by unforeseen circumstances,when facing bitter experiences in Life,do remember ITS TIME TO TASTE AND SEE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD THAN THE BITTERNESS OF THE CIRCUMSTANCE.Its not feel God..its tasting Him...that you keep going on being thirsty for the tasty !!!
Thought 2:He also notes here,BLESSED is the man who trusts in this Good GOD!!...Blessing starts from your heart of trust in God, not in the bank balance you have.We all love to be blessed.We look at the worldly situations and commend"See how much He is blessed"...Even when Jacob had a large group of herd and cattle and servants and wives and children,IN PENIEL HE Cried to God..UNLESS YOU BLESS ME I WONT LEAVE YOU..Then we see the night of fear being turned into a blessing!!His name changed,That heart that cheated His dad and Uncle was changed by od's touch and blessing and brokeness of His body.Psalmist understood this great truth and proclaimed BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN HIM
Introspection
------------------
1)Are you in a bitter situation??how can you tase the the goodness of the Lord
2)What is your definition on being "blessed"??
Application
-----------------
1)Write down those moments of bitterness where you TASTED the goodness of God in a diary and thank Him
2)Trust God in whatever situation you are in and confess that "I AM BLESSED BECAUSE MY HEART DOES NOT TRUST IN THE CIRCUSTANCE BUT ON GOD WHO IS THE GOD OF THE CIRCUMSTANCE"
