8. O taste and see. Make a trial, an inward,
experimental trial of the goodness of God. You cannot see except by tasting for
yourself; but if you taste you will see, for this, like Jonathan’s honey,
enlightens the eyes. That the Lordis good. You can only know this really and personally by experience. Blessedis the man that trusteth in him. Faith is the soul’s taste; they who test
the Lord by their confidence always find him good, and they become themselves
blessed. The second clause of the verse is the argument in support of the
exhortation contained in the first sentence.
