555: Taste and see that the Lord is good | Psalm 34:8

Our world is filled with fear and hate and acts of terror. How can God be good while all of this is happening? Why does He allow it? I can't answer those questions. It's much bigger than me. I don't think anyone other than God can. But I trust Him. I can't explain it. If you came across this episode of this podcast, and you are struggling with this, maybe today's One Verse is for you. Taste and see that the Lord is good. That is the start of Psalm 34:8. It is like God is allowing us to test Him: "Spend time with me. Trust me. And you will experience my goodness in your life." I can see this in my own life. I have experienced heartache and tragedy and fear for the future, yet God has always been good to me. Life isn't perfect, but His Love sustains me. If you've never experienced this, there is nothing I can do to explain it. But once you taste the goodness of God, you will know it! I encourage you to spend some time with God today, both in prayer and in His Word. I hope you experience His goodness today.
