For over ten
years I have not been able to smell anything, so my ability to taste is
greatly impaired as well. Whenever I read in the Bible about being able
to taste it is a reminder to me that even though I can’t discern flavors
on earth I can still experience God in different ways. In Deuteronomy
30:14 it says, The Word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so you may obey it. God’s presence and wisdom are that close.
Can you taste the Word in your mouth and feel the Spirit in your heart? – You can if you are obedient.
Psalm 34:8 –Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.
God uses
all of our senses and the psalmist here wants to illustrate the intimate
nature of His relationship with us. The Lord desires this, but will not
force it on us.
Trust and have faith in God – Proverbs 3:5-6; Trust
in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
God is good and with us all the time. Amen?
