“Oh taste and see, that the Lord is good: blessed is the man the trusteth in Him.” — Psalm 34:8
Couldnโt sleep a few nights ago, and this verse came to mind! Eventually, had to loook it up and study it!
Some key words:
๐ฏTaste: to taste, perceive
๐ฏSee: to see, discern, consider, behold, enjoy, joyfully, look one upon another, regard, to mark, view, observe, TO FACE (this makes me think how often in my studies I realize thatโs how He wants us to know Him, face to face!)
๐ฏGood: good, beautiful, best, better, bountiful, cheerful, favor, joyfully, merry, kindly, gracious, most, pleasure, pleaseth, prosperity, sweet, wealth, favored, good in every way, sensual goodness,(as in tangible), intellect goodness, moral goodness, having benefits, welfare, prosperity, bounty. Basically, if itโs any kind of good? Itโs found in Him and His Goodness!!! ALL the things good!! ๐ค๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
๐ฏ Blessed: this one is pretty amazingโ blessed, happiness. From a root word meaning to go straight, to advance, to be led, to go, to make progress, to set right, to be made HAPPY!
๐ฏMan: valiant man or WARRIOR, strong man, to be strong or valiant, to be mighty.
๐ฏTrusteth: to trust, to be careless (as in having no care!) to confide in, have hope in, take refuge in!
Way better things to be thinking about, as compared to the things we often see around us on social media and especially, the news.
As we โTasteโ and โSeeโ (know Him face to face) that the Lord is GOOD in every way, we are BLESSED โwe advance, go straight, are MADE HAPPY, make progress and are set right! We are not only Happy and advancing, we are STRONG, VALIANT, WARRIORS! (A Happy Warrior! Love it!) we are made blessed when we trust in Him, making Him our refuge, having no cares!
I hope this blessed somebody!! ๐๐ค๐๐ป
