Psalm 34:8 reads: “Oh, taste and see.” But no one can see the Lord and live (Exodus 33:20). We are too sinful to see the holiness and majesty of the Lord. It will kill us. But by faith in Christ, our Redeemer, we can see who God is. That means that when you taste God’s work of salvation in Jesus Christ, you begin to see how good the Lord is. In that case you see it not with your “normal” eyes, but with the eyes of faith (see Hebrews 11:1 and Hebrews 11:27).
8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
