Taste
and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.
- Psalm 34:8 (NIV)
It’s
Taco Tuesday!
I remember when I was a teenager there was a fast-food chain that advertised “Taco Twosday” — two tacos for 99 cents. For a lot of families, it became a tradition that still continues today. (And honestly, I still miss the Potato Olés from that place.)
It’s interesting how food becomes tied to comfort, tradition, and memories. Some foods immediately make us think of certain people or moments in life. My grandmother made the best coconut cream pie. My mother-in-law makes all kinds of amazing foods — some recipes passed down for generations like currant biscuits and lefse, and others that may be uniquely hers, like rhubarb custard pie and her famous bean dish.
Somewhere along the way, my own contributions to family favorites became chicken and rice and chicken parmesan. My future daughter-in-law makes a Mexican chicken dish that is absolutely delicious.
And then there are the foods that seem woven into life itself: Thanksgiving and Christmas turkey, Easter ham, birthday cakes, hot dogs at baseball games, and all the picnic foods that show up during summer gatherings.
Food has a way of bringing people together around a table to laugh, tell stories, and make more memories. God designed us for connection, and some of the sweetest moments in life happen while sharing a meal with people we love.
But while we spend time thinking about what nourishes our bodies, we also need to remember our spiritual nourishment. A good meal satisfies us for a little while, but only God can truly fill the deeper hunger in our hearts.
Psalm 34:8 says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” What an invitation that is. God doesn’t just want us to know about Him from a distance. He invites us to experience His goodness personally — to sit at His table, to receive His grace, and to find comfort and satisfaction in Him.
So whether today includes tacos, leftovers, or a drive-thru meal on the way home from work, take a moment to thank God not only for daily bread, but for the spiritual nourishment only He can provide.
