I recently had lunch with some girlfriends at a local steak restaurant. When the server came to take our order, she kept insisting that we try the chicken. She was so enthusiastic about the chicken, that if I hadn’t already ordered chicken, I think I would have changed my order!
When I mentioned that she really seemed to love her job, she said she had tried almost every item on the menu, because, “I can’t sell it if I don’t know how it tastes!” Immediately, the Lord brought Psalm 34:8 to mind: Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
If we are not daily tasting and seeing that the Lord is good by spending time in His Word and in prayer, how can we tell others of his goodness? When we ask Him to show us his goodness, he is delighted to reveal himself to us. When we spend purposeful time in His Word, we develop hearts that are sensitive to his Spirit. Others are drawn to Him because our enthusiasm is contagious!
