Sharing some insights on happiness from Psalm 34:8 with you! Here comes part 1:

“Imagine your favorite food. Imagine it served before you and you take a bite.

Mmmh … imagine it just melting on your tongue. Can you taste it?

Now imagine the same, only that you hastily swallow the food as soon as you can, and you keep throwing the food into your mouth and swallowing it really fast so that you can barely sense the flavor of the meal. Would you still be able to taste it?

To taste is to simply ENJOY. You enjoy and you appreciate. You take it in, bit by bit, grateful for the pleasure you get from eating. This is the first part of Psalm 34:8 – to taste. To taste means that you enjoy and appreciate Jesus, the Word of God, bit by bit. It means that you take in all the flavors that come with getting to know Him.

How about you? Are you normally a quick eater? Do you just swallow down God’s word because you have to? Because you need resources, because you want to get something out of it?

Here’s a simple encouragement for you today, to just taste Him. To enjoy His presence and to appreciate Him for who He is. Maybe even start with tasting some good food, treat yourself or let others treat you! Maybe pause a little bit before you start shoveling everything really quickly into your mouth.

Just enjoy. Because He is good. Wow, yes, He is good. He is so good, so so good. Take in all the different flavors of God.

I bless you, and I pray that you will be able to taste God today. Amen.”
