Psalms 34:8
It seems that it is God's design, that we should stick our tongues out to taste.
What does this mean in real life? I remember once over supper Soh Heng said this to me.
He said that he is fine with his daughter rejecting food, but only after she has tasted it at least once. That's pretty reasonable to me and really I see myself doing the same to my children in future.
But simply tasting the food once is something I've known through experience to be a very difficult thing. The distrust, the presumption, the utter lack of faith that putting the food in my mouth will be rewarding is enough to persuade me to not try it.
But what if a culinary expert took a little of something He made and asked me to taste it, guaranteeing on his on reputation that I will certainly find it good?
That's what God wants us to do. This is the design. It all begins with an act of faith, of trust.
How do I know if I would not be disappointed as I live my life for God this year? How do I know that it will be good if I give the best of my time to Him?
I look back at the 22 years I have lived. There is evidence alright, I have tasted and known its goodness.
Let my tongue make its way out of my mouth once more,
For I shall taste and see that the LORD is good.
