Psalm 34:8
Good News for People with a Bad Taste In Their Mouth
Have you ever had a “bad taste in your mouth” after experiencing something unpleasant? Have you heard people say they are “fed up” with the news or that they can’t “stomach” another …..whatever.
That’s where Christ followers can come in and be what 2 Timothy 2:21 describes as vessels of Christ. “Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.”
Yes, as Christ’s vessel, we can be intentional about making sure we are a clean vessel God can use by confessing and repenting of any sin in our life. As a cleansed vessel, we can be useful to the Lord, to pour out His goodness on others.
How can we be a vessel of God’s goodness? What can we do?
We can dish out Christ’s love in big hooping scoops.
We can pour out His kindness to those who are going through a hard time.
We can serve His Word to people who are deceived and offer them the way to salvation in Christ.
Psalm 34:8 says, “O taste and see that the Lord is GOOD; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!”
God is good. Will you be intentional about being a cleansed vessel who the Lord can use to serve His goodness to those who desperately need Him?
LORD, You are GOOD. Use us as Your vessels to pour forth Your goodness, love, kindness, and truth to others.

Bite Into This
Recently I reached into my briefcase to grab some papers but instead grabbed a squishy apple that I’d packed for a snack but forgotten to eat. Making a mental note that good intentions aren’t enough, I thought of Psalm 34:8 that says, “Taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!” The Bible is like an apple, wonderful for us, but only if ingested. How can we ingest the Bible? Like we do an apple. We take it in our hands. We bite off one verse at a time. We chew on it to digest how it applies to our life. The result? We experience its transformational benefits. An apple can go bad. A Bible can be taken from us. But if it has been internalized, no one can take how it has transformed us. Looking for something to bite into? Enjoy these tasty spiritual resources.
Heavenly Father, thank You that we can taste and see how good You are. Transform us with every bite we take of Your Word. We love you.

Praise to GOD Who is GOOD
“O taste and see that the Lord is GOOD; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!”
Many people have never “tasted” the Lord. Some don’t even know about Jesus. They’ve been raised in homes where Sunday is just another day. They don’t own a Bible. Jesus’s name may only be a cuss word to them. They’ve never “tasted” and seen that God is good. Yet, they’re starving for something good in their lives. We can tell them. How? Following are resources to help you share Christ with others:
Discovering His Passion shows us how Christ opened conversations about Himself, the Spirit, and eternal life. By studying how He gently engaged others, we can learn to engage others in spiritual conversations.
Taste and See that the Lord is Good cookbook is filled with tried and true recipes. More importantly, it has a Bible verse on every recipe page, how someone can come to know Christ as Savior, and “Blessings and Graces” to say at mealtime. This is a great gift for Mother’s Day, Graduation, or just to say “I care;” an easy way to share God’s GOODNESS with others.
Know Jesus as Savior is a link you can copy and paste in an email or text message when talking with someone about Christ.
