Is there anything better than the first cup of your favorite coffee in the morning? Unless, of course, you don’t like coffee. Some people enjoy a green smoothie with lots of protein, kale, and fruit. I used to cringe when my parents enjoyed their order of fried liver. And we laugh at the funny faces a baby makes when first tasting real food.I remember trying coffee for the first time, thinking it tasted awful. Now, my first cup of coffee is a favorite moment in my day. I don’t just like a cup of coffee in the morning; I need a cup of coffee and will make every effort to get one. For me, learning to love God was a lot like learning to love coffee. Each “taste” increased my enjoyment until one morning I realized I was completely dependent on him for my day. I don’t just enjoy God’s presence in my life; I need him. The bad days are the days I don’t make every effort to be with him.The psalmist wrote “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” God is good. I have had some bad cups of coffee, and I’ve had some bad days with God. Sadly, we don’t always taste the good things in this life. Some things are like that candy that starts out sweet and then quickly sours!One day we are going to drink coffee on the patio of our mansions in heaven. That will be the best cup of coffee we have ever enjoyed. One day, we will meet the Lord face-to-face. We will walk with him and enjoy his presence. Until then, we only taste of the Lord’s goodness. Right now we consume God’s goodness in small bites. But there will be a banquet in heaven.To know God is the beginning of wisdom. You will learn to know and love God more as you taste and see that he is good.
