Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
In order to taste something we have to experience it. We can't just look at a plate of cream cakes or hold them at arm's length to taste them. We have to actually put them in our mouths to enjoy them! Yum!
In the same way we can't hold God at arm's length and expect to taste His goodness. No He wants us to allow Him to be up close and personal with us so we can experience His goodness and blessings.
God wants us to know part of His goodness is His generosity to us. God's nature is to bring us joy and to bless us and it gives Him great pleasure when we're willing to receive from Him.
It's really hard when we want to bless somebody with something but they're too proud, or feel they don't deserve it, or don't want to be beholden to the giver, so they won't receive whatever we're trying to give them.
God doesn't want us to feel like that but wants us to be willing to receive all His goodness. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. (Psalm 145:9) I think some people have learned to open themselves up to have a greater capacity to receive from God and that's why they're so blessed. We can do the same. There's another scripture which says if you open your mouth I will fill it!😊
He is a good Father and His heart is overflowing with goodness. So let's taste and see that the Lord is good and give Him all the praise and heartfelt thanks for it.
Psalm 106:1 Praise the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
