LOVE WORTH FINDING 5TH JUNE 2025 THURSDAY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE BY ADRIAN ROGERS
TOPIC: Taste and See
“Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.” – Psalm 34:8-9
Ponder This
I love mangos. They are delicious when they are fresh. But suppose somebody brings you a mango. It’s beautiful on the outside. You could say it looks good. If you put it up to your nose and smell it, you might say it smells good. But how do you really know it’s good? Somebody may tell you, “I enjoy mangos. They’re wonderful.” That’s their testimony. But when someone says, “Here, try,” that’s an invitation to experience. A Christian with an experience is never at the mercy of any argument. When you have tasted and seen that the Lord is good, no one can argue against that.
Do you remember the story of the man born blind who Jesus healed? The Pharisees and rulers said, “Who healed you? What were his credentials? Explain all of it.” He couldn’t explain it all, but he said, “One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see” (John 9:25). A believing person has the evidence on the inside.
God saved me in my middle teens. I had a passing interest in the Word of God, and over time God grew my interest. I’ve spent my life studying this book, pouring over it. I am more convinced that the Bible is the Word of God than I was when I started as a young preacher. I’m not finding hidden flaws. I’m finding hidden beauties. I have experienced the Word of God to be true. I hope you have too.
