The Taste Test
My Mom made the best banana pudding ever, and I do mean EVER. I have yet to taste anything like her recipe. I always waited in great anticipation for that pudding whenever she decided to make it. I loved it. I would wiggle in my seat as a young girl, humming and licking my lips whenever I had some. It was so good! I still praise her pudding over anyone else's, simply because it tasted that wonderful. I can promise you that if you had tasted it, you would completely agree.
When David reflected on his personal experiences with God, he was often both boasting and praising in his expressions of how good God is. David had tasted the goodness of the Lord in his life and it was no secret how he felt about God. In Psalm 34:8 he says "taste and see that the Lord is good." My spiritual imagination tells me that David was trying to get across a message to us that he was fully convinced of himself: 'try God and see for yourself.' David had experienced God's favor, and "flavor," and he found the "taste" of those experiences with God to be pleasing and good.
David crafted those simple words "taste and see" to speak like a special invitation to partake in a delightful dessert, an urging to enjoy the sweetness of the God life. There is no denying that God is good. David says it well when he encourages us to taste and see it for ourselves. I, too, believe you'll agree that it's true: The proof is in the pudding. ~ S.R.F.
