Taste that the Lord is Good
The work of faith is to expect to receive from God a sense of His love and a supply of His grace. This glorifies Him as an all-sufficient source of good. We will never desire to read the Bible as we should until we have tasted God's goodness in it. Only faith can give us such a spiritual taste. Why does a baby crave milk? Because its very life cannot be sustained or nourished without it. We are able to discern if food is good or bad, not by looking at it or learning about it, but by tasting it. In the same way, true Christians have the ability to "taste" the goodness of God in biblical truth (1 Peter 2:2). This is one of the first things faith does.

I think these are really good thoughts. Many people are quick to discredit God before allowing him to work in their lives. I tried some new seafoods in CA last week that to be honest didn't wet my appetite when it hit the table, but after trying it and tasting it's new, exotic flavor, I enjoyed it more and more. :)
