Taste God’s goodness – Samuel Dhinakaran

“Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” (Psalm 34:8)
Dear friend, it is a great joy to share God’s Word to you from Psalm 34:8, “Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” Yes, God is inviting you to taste and see His goodness. It is time for the tasting to begin and it is time for the wondering to stop. You might be like a little child watching a sweet shop from the window outside. “Oh, if I get those sweet how nice it would be.” Or you might be like a woman looking from outside at the jewelry inside a shop. “How beautiful that necklace would be around my neck.” My friend, it is time to stop wondering.

God is inviting you inside. He says, “Come and taste My goodness. It is available for you. I am releasing it into your life.” When we were little kids we were looking at our parents being filled with the Holy Spirit. It was amazing. They were filled with a lot of happiness and were shouting praises to God. They couldn’t control themselves. One day we asked God fervently and He filled us too with the Holy Spirit. The Bible says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” (Matthew 5:6) 

In the Bible we see how David was anointed while he was still a shepherd boy. He spent his time for the Lord, playing his harp and making music to the Lord. The Lord who saw his passion chose him and sent Samuel the Prophet to anoint him. His life turned upside down after that. He killed the lion and by using mere stone he slay the giant goliath. He faced many dangers yet He was lifted to the position of a king. Though it took many years but God’s anointing protected him and lifted him high in life. God will do that for you too, my friend. Seek His anointing. Meditate on His word and pray every day. You too will taste and see His goodness just as how David did and how he records it in the promise verse.
Prayer:
Loving Lord,

I await Your goodness. Let me get the promotion I have waited for. Bless me with peace. Lift me high in life. Bless the work of my hands. Honor me with Your goodness. Bless me with the right partner. Fill me with Your mighty Holy Spirit. Let Your name be glorified through me.

In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
