A
Study of Psalm Thirty Four
Verse
Eight
Brethren:
Gracious,
such a beautiful word. Defined it means abounding in grace or mercy.
And how it so helps to define the nature of our Creator. Merciful,
and filled with grace.
Now, the man who seeks God, and places all trust and assurance in Him, is therefore blessed by the mercies of Providence. Friends, henceforth, let us seek or as has been written above, "taste" Him daily. In prayer, in the study of his word, and in fellowship with one another.

“Consider
it seriously, and thoroughly, and affectionately and make trial of it
by your own and others’ experiences. This is opposed to those
slight and vanishing thoughts which men have of it.” - Matthew
Poole
“The
goodness of God includes both the beauty and amiableness of his being
and the bounty and beneficence of his providence and grace; and
accordingly.
We
must taste that he is a bountiful benefactor, relish the goodness of
God in all his gifts to us, and reckon that the savour and sweetness
of them. Let God’s goodness be rolled under the tongue as a sweet
morsel.
We
must see that he is a beautiful being, and delight in the
contemplation of his infinite perfections. By taste and sight we both
make discoveries and take complacency. Taste and see God’s
goodness, that is, take notice of it and take the comfort of it, (See
1
Peter2:3 ).
He
is good, for he makes all those that trust in him truly blessed; let
us therefore be so convinced of his goodness as thereby to be
encouraged in the worst of times to trust in him.
He
would have us join with him in a resolution to seek God and serve
him, and continue in his fear” - Matthew Henry
