The invitation is sensory, not intellectual. Don't just believe God is good theoretically. Taste Him. Let His goodness become something you experience directly, something your spiritual senses register as real.
Taste is intimate. It's not distant observation. When you taste something, it changes your mouth. You know it differently than you know something you've just read about. The psalmist's inviting active experience, not abstract agreement.
I've noticed that many spiritual insights that seemed true in my head didn't transform my living until I'd actually tasted them. I could believe God loved me without actually feeling sustained by that love. I could assent to His faithfulness as doctrine while not trusting Him in actual circumstance. Tasting requires vulnerability, trying, really letting His goodness affect you. It's the difference between knowing God is good and knowing it.
