Psalm 34:8 says, “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.“ In this Bible verse, there are two important action verbs… TASTE and SEE. To “taste” something, you have to put a bite of substance into your mouth. To “see” something, you have to open your eyes and take a look. Both “taste” and “see” require a little action on our part to gain the benefits. Are you missing out on the goodness of the Lord? God wants us to put our faith to the test. He wants to prove Himself. When we do, we will see that He is good!…

Let’s Leap, Let’s Leap!
Did you know that LEAPING is a biblical activity? It’s amazing the challenges that you and I are able to LEAP over by the grace and help of God. He gives us the power and strength to do what we cannot do on our own. With God’s help, you can climb over those steep mountains. You can traipse through those huge obstacles.
