Psalm 34:8-9 Taste and See that the LORD Is Good

Psalm 34:8-9 (KJV)  O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. 

Faith in the LORD enables the saints to experience His goodness. When faith is exercised to trust the LORD, to obey and follow Him, He always proves Himself faithfulness to His own.

The fear of the LORD is the heart attitude that enables the saints to yield to Him and His ways as taught in His Word. In obedience, the saints are blessed by the LORD, there is no lack of those who trust in Him.

Matthew Henry well said, “God’s mercies to us when we were young we should remember and retain the impressions of when we are old; what our eyes have seen, especially in our early days, has affected us, and should be improved by us long after.”

What a blessing it is for the people of God to experience His meticulous care as they taste and see His goodness, moment by moment, day by day. Amen.
