Application

A friend of mine was very allergic to pineapples. He always used to carefully avoid it. One day he was invited for a dinner and to his surprise there was a big pineapple on the table. To keep to table manners, my friend took a very small piece and it tasted really good! Since then he never missed the pineapple. Having experienced the goodness of the Lord this is what the psalmist invites us to do, “Taste and see the Lord is good.” Ps. 34:8
