When you taste something, you have to put it in your mouth and allow your tongue to touch it for you to experience its flavors. Sometimes it takes the influence of someone else letting you know that the food is good for you to take the morsel.
That's the way it is sometimes with our Christian faith. People know about God, they've heard things, or even had a casual encounter with the things of God. From these surface experiences, they've formed conclusions about what it means to be a Christian and decided that Jesus isn't the flavor for them. But they haven't fully tasted and seen how great God really is!
Have you ever seen something you thought you would not enjoy only to taste it to find out that it was delicious? Sometimes, that's what it takes in order for someone to come to Christ. We believers have to let others around us know how great Jesus really is, and then encourage them to try Him for themselves.
This includes spending time talking with God (prayer), reading His Word (study), participating in praise and worship, and fellowshipping with other saints (church). When all of these cylinders are pumping and in sync - you can't help but notice how great it is to be a child of God!
So, this weekend I encourage you to encourage someone else to "taste and see" God's goodness! Invite someone else in on how great God can be. Don't just tell them about the Lord and leave it at that - help them to fully embrace the things of God.
Don't keep your good God all to yourself!
Verse of the Day: O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8
