A storekeeper once set a saucer of salt on his counter, and when the first customer came in he asked, “What do you think is in the dish?”
The man carefully looked at it and said, “I think it’s sugar.”
“No, you’re wrong,” said the grocer.
The next man to come in was asked the same question, and he too replied, “Sugar.”
“Wrong again,’’ responded the storekeeper.
A third man came in and was met with the same question. He promptly went over to the saucer, moistened his finger and tasted a little.
“It’s salt,” he said decidedly, and of course he was right, for he had tasted it!
We who know the Lord love to tell others about Him, but we cannot make them know how good and precious He is—they must taste and see for themselves. Each one must take the Saviour for himself and then he will know “that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.” Psa. 34:88O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. (Psalm 34:8).
