In Psalm 34:8, we find God continually inviting us to His boundless love and grace. "O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!" Making God your shelter in this life has an added incentive of <b>blessedness</b>. The "Lord is good" if you will just decide to "taste and see" the experience. Sincerely trusting God and taking refuge in Him by faith open the door of Heaven's blessings. This inwardness we venture to call as faith experience only starts to develop after hearing and meditating upon God's blessed promises. "For...
