Psalm 34:8

Taste and see that the Yahweh is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him NIV

Notice that first word, taste: "Taste and see that the Yahweh is good." You realize, of course, that we are endowed with five physical senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. What is it that’s distinctive about the sense of taste? I’ll tell you one distinctive feature of taste. If we see something, it’s external to us. If we hear something, it’s external. If we touch something, it’s still outside us. If we smell something, it may be still far from us. But there’s one thing about taste: when we taste something, we take it right into us and it becomes part of us. And I believe that’s why the Lord challenges us to "Taste and see." Don’t let Yahweh remain external, don’t let Him remain something outside of you.

Paul says in the New Testament, "Christ in you, the hope of glory." You’ll never really have that hope of glory until you’ve actually tasted of Elohim, till you’ve taken Him within you, and then you’ll know for sure He is good. Not because the preacher says it, not because the radio evangelist declares it, but because you’ve proved it in your experience, you’ve tasted, you’ve invited Elohim to come in and be an integral part of your life. And when you do that, you’ll know He’s good. - Derek Prince
