O Taste And See That The LORD Is Good – The Saturday Morning Post by Pastor Ted Stahl

Listen to Pastor Charlie Horton’s message to the men at our Men’s Breakfast – “God’s Will In Your Life”

Good morning! Vacations are nice, but it’s always better to get home. God’s hands were all over our vacation in Lancaster, PA. Thursday was our last day there, and we went to Sight and Sound’s production of Jonah. I think this is my favorite so far. I walked out of the theater wanting to study the book of Jonah in depth (no pun intended).

But the best thing to happen to us on our vacation, happened at Red Lobster. We had Melissa’s gift card with us, which we thought was still loaded with $50. A bad assumption. Our waiter came back and told us there was only $10. So I dug the VISA (sorry Dave) out of my wallet, and handed it to him. A few more minutes passed, and our waiter returned with my card. That’s when he told us the two ladies, who were seated across from us, picked up the rest of our tab! He said, “They told me to tell you that Jesus loves you.”

Yes He does. And I told you all that to tell you Psalm 34:8a, “O taste and see that the LORD is good…”

Like I said, God’s hand was all over this vacation. Then we came home and saw what happened in our little trailer park. Many trees were down from the storm that came through early last Saturday morning. The transformer on a telephone pole was struck by lightning, and was now the same color as the pole. God protected our house, and many others.

Even though our daughter lies buried, and her soul is in heaven, taste and see that the LORD is good.

Even though my wife had a heart attack, and needed three stints put in, taste and see that the LORD is good.

When the LORD gets you through the storms of life, O taste and see that the LORD is good.

When blessings fall like the leaves from a tree, O taste and see that the LORD is good.

When times look bright, and when times look dark, O taste and see that the LORD is good.

If you don’t know the LORD, I invite you to taste and see that the LORD is good. He loves you so much. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13). He laid down His life to save you from hell because He knew you could not save yourself: (Ephesians 2:8-9) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Just agree with God that you are a sinner: As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one… For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God… (Romans 3:10 and 23). Then call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to save you, and He will. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13).

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. (Psalm 34:8)

Peace. (1Chronicals 16:34).
