The Word today is a reflection on Psalm 34:8 

TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD, BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN HIM. 

Early in the Fall of 2025, I was diagnosed with A rare form of breast cancer. As I processed my way through the diagnosis, I naturally reflected on my life, and on my mortality. As I prepared for surgery, I had a distinct knowing that Jesus was with me, watching me, guiding me. I felt actually very good. The Lord was with me, and I approached each minute with trust. As the day of the surgery approached, I felt a real and sincere need to confess my sins. I needed to, I wanted to get right with the Lord! 

It was within those quiet moments of confession, that I absolutely knew that God saw me. The result was a spiritual lifting up within my being that stays with me today. 

Perhaps that glow I felt was what God is referring to when he says; Taste and see that I am good. He is.  It is because of the Lord’s mercy’s that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.” 

Can we have the forgiveness of forgiven sin?   God answers any hesitation with his gracious invitation; “Taste and see that the Lord is good”
