Delaware Punch reminds me of my grandfather. We would visit him at his farm and it seems like he always had one for me. To this day, if I drink a Delaware Punch, that sweet taste takes me back to those wonderful times with Paw-Paw. Some tastes are supposed to stay with us! Psalms tells us to “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” As His children, the goodness of God is to be like that Delaware Punch…a taste that stays with us.
We live in a world that can leave a bitter taste with all the suffering, storms, wildfires, and fear. Many people even attribute these kinds of things to God but the bible is clear… God is good! He is not the author of suffering and pandemics. He is not the cause of everything we taste in this world BUT He is the cause of making good from anything that happens in this world! We often look at the world around us and question His goodness. But what if we believed Him and trusted, tasted that He is good? Then maybe we would see the circumstances of this world very differently and rather than obstacles to His goodness, we would see them as opportunities to taste how good He is. You are loved by a good God and there is nothing sweeter than that!
O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
