/*Taste and see that the LORD is good ... -- Psalm 34:8*/

How do we taste and see that the Lord is good? Sometimes our mouths are 
full of the disgusting, distasteful ingredients of life. Sometimes we 
are so intent on these things that we don't realize that we have a choice.

We can hold up to God all that is bitter and sour in our lives. In fact, 
we must. If we don't, we will never be able to taste and see that He is 
good. We will be stuck in a double bind: trying to create a paradise we 
cannot create or blaming God for a hell here on earth that He did not 
create.

As a race, we humans overestimate our own abilities and underestimate 
the abilities of God.

All of us believe lies about the character of God. That is part of the 
human condition. We don't shed these lies by deleting them from our 
doctrinal statements. We are released from them when we feel their 
apparent truth and go to God to taste the difference.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
