I want to encourage you today, right out of the word of God, Psalm 34:8. I’m just going to read it to you. It says, “Taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.” Taste and see that the Lord is good. Think about this. Taste and see. There’s an action: taste and see. There’s two actions right there in order for you to know that He is good. Taste and see.

You know, when John the Baptist sent his followers to Jesus and he was like, “Are you the Messiah?” And He’s like, “Go back and tell John what they’ve seen and what they’ve heard.” And so there’s action on our part in order to experience the goodness of God. And so, there might be areas of your life, or maybe in general, but there might be an area like, “God, I know you’re good in my marriage, but I’m not so sure that you’re good in my finances.” You might be, you know, God is good in your career, but not in your personal life.

It could be so many different possibilities, but you know what? God is good all the time, every day in every situation and every circumstance. And a lot of times, for me, it just takes me asking like, “Holy Spirit, this doesn’t feel good, but I know you’re here. Can you show me how you’re here in this situation? Can you show me what you’re doing in this situation?” And when you face hard times, I want to encourage you. This has so helped me. I’m like, “Holy Spirit, what is the gift in this situation?” If I can taste and see that you’re good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him, that when you’re going through a hard time, find refuge in the Lord, ask the Holy Spirit how He’s working for your good, because He works all things for good,  Amen?
