THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
What do you learn by purchasing a load of topsoil for delivery?
That, while some things are "dirt cheap," dirt ISN'T one of them!

Ps 34:7-8
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
KJV

David expresses the fact that he has EXPERIENCED the Lord's salvation!
Verse 6 also expresses that David has experienced God saving him from trouble.
I love the way he communicates to others how they, too, can EXPERIENCE God: "O TASTE and see that the LORD is good!!"
"Taste" is a word used to describe a definite experience in our lives.
Once you "taste" something, it is distinctively recorded in your memory.
For instance, if I say, "apple," your mind instinctively produces a picture of the apple, the smell of it, and the "taste" of it. (Assuming you have tasted an apple!)
Those things that taste "good" to you are recorded in the desirable section of your mind, and those things that don't taste good are recorded in the NONdesirable section.
Again, assuming you have experienced it, if I say, "sulfuric acid," your mind recalls the experience and causes you to instinctively draw back.
You recall the smell of rotten eggs, and you do not desire to experience the taste of it.
The "taste" of God is GOOD!
Once you EXPERIENCE Him in your life, you'll DESIRE Him all of your life.
Love ya,
