Taste and see that the LORD is good … — Psalm 34:8
How do we taste and see that the Lord is good? Sometimes our mouths are full of the disgusting, distasteful ingredients of life. Sometimes we are so intent on these things that we don’t realize that we have a choice.
We can hold up to God all that is bitter and sour in our lives. In fact, we must. If we don’t, we will never be able to taste and see that He is good. We will be stuck in a double bind: trying to create a paradise we cannot create or blaming God for a hell here on earth that He did not create.
As a race, we humans overestimate our own abilities and underestimate the abilities of God.
All of us believe lies about the character of God. That is part of the human condition. We don’t shed these lies by deleting them from our doctrinal statements. We are released from them when we feel their apparent truth and go to God to taste the difference.
Be encouraged!

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries?
Victims of violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace,
wholeness, the power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries.
Those ensnared by addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being
restored. Families are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in
restricted lands who face persecution are finding strength and
encouragement. Young believers are learning how to walk with the Lord,
and people are coming into the faith for the first time. None of this
happens as a result of one person’s efforts, but rather this is God’s
work as He blesses the sacrifice of many people including yourself. We
partner with you, with other ministries, and, most significantly, with
the Lord. That’s how the supernatural happens.
