Daily Word Focus: TRUST GOD

Psalms 34:8-10 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusts in him. 9 O fear the LORD, you his saints: for there is no lack to them that fear him. 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing. (KJ2000)

Of course the word ‘taste‘ does not literally mean to eat but perceive, see or discover—find out for yourself—that the Lord is good. Compare this with the parable Jesus used in Luke 14:15-24 and Matthew 22:1-14 of the ‘great supper’; take a look and see what Jesus is actually speaking of

Parables were stories that Jesus used to show spiritual things using natural and familiar events. To farmers He used stories that related to farming like planting (sowing) and harvesting (reaping).

Hebrews 10:22-24 So let us come near to God with a sincere heart and a sure faith. We have been cleansed and made free from feelings of guilt. And our bodies have been washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold firmly to the hope that we have confessed. We can trust God to do what he promised. 24 Let us think about each other and help each other to show love and do good deeds. (ICB)

Blessed–happy, a person that trust the Lord finds happiness [Psalms 84:12]. Isaiah 30:18 And yet the Lord is waiting to be merciful to you. He is ready to take pity on you because he always does what is right. Happy are those who put their trust in the Lord. (GNT) Try the Lord and see that He is good, you will find true happiness when you learn to trust Him, be blessed! – ♥
