This past week, I tried natural peanut butter again as I follow a new eating plan. I had forgotten how amazing natural peanut butter is without all the sugar and additives. It was pure peanut goodness. On this new eating plan, my body has begun to crave the good food as well as feel more satisfied.
Then, I began to think about Psalm 34:8a, "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!..." When we "taste" the Lord and His Word, the distractions around us also dim in comparison. We also begin to be satisfied spiritually as well as desire more of His Word.
Consider Psalm 119 and Psalm 19:7-11.
7 "The law of the Lord is perfect,[a]
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple;
8 the precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes;
9 the fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules[b] of the Lord are true,
and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward."
Even as my more healthy eating plan is helping me crave nutrition more as well as become stronger, seeking God and His Word is helping me crave Him more and grow closer to Him.
Won't you join me and "taste and see that He is good"?
