Taste & See the Lord is Good

All the time, God is Good!

“Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him."

Is God Good?

God is good, the Bible tells us. In fact, Jesus says only God is good. We can repeat the words, but that doesn’t mean we have experienced it. Often, we feel like we have to experience something to fully understand it. Is God’s goodness personally real to us or simply a theological statement? 

Recognizing God’s Goodness

We often struggle to recognize God’s goodness;

  • Crises arise and constantly vie for our attention.
  • Problems need fixing, or things get worse.
  • Others hurt and wound us.
  • We make our own mistakes and hurt others.

These dark days threaten to obscure the higher truth of our good God. Theological statements alone don’t change our hearts. These declarations are important only insofar as they describe a greater reality. Yet words can’t even hope to describe the greater reality. Words are limited. The only way to understand and know God’s goodness is through personal experience and encounter.

Are you ready to experience the goodness of God?
