Psalm 34:8-9

Psalm 34:8-9

Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! Fear the LORD, you his godly people, for those who fear him will have all they need.

In this psalm, David was expressing his thanks to God for taking care of him and protecting him. Because of his experience, he encouraged others to “taste,” or experience, the goodness of the Lord. Do you long to have a taste of God’s goodness today? You can experience it by asking him for protection and trusting him to take care of your needs. As you do, let your mind dwell on two truths: Those who take refuge in God will experience joy and an eternal relationship with him, and those who fear God will have everything they truly need in life.
