| Dear Young Christian: |
| “O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him” (Psalm 34:8). |
| The more intimately you know the Lord the more you realize His goodness and taste His sweetness. This will bring you happiness, even in the midst of difficult circumstances, and it will cause your faith in Him to grow and mature. |
| Sometimes we learn the goodness of the Lord through the happy times, but more often than not we learn it through the sad and troubled times. This is because in those times we are drawn closer to Him and learn to trust more in His love and wisdom. We only know the sweetness of something by experimentation. If you never try honey you never know its sweetness. It says of the Manna that God gave the children of Israel in the wilderness, “the taste of it was like wafers made with honey” (Exodus 16:31). It speaks in type of the sweetness of the person of Christ as we feed on His love and goodness. He is indeed, “sweeter than honey” (Psalm 119:103). |
