Psalm 34:19  Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all. Being inundated by afflictions of all sorts will come to the saint of God, even when they are pursuing righteous causes and purposes.  Coming to faith doesn’t exempt us from attacks of the enemy, in fact they intensify them. …

Psalm 34:15   The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry. So often we read over again in the Psalms and other scriptures the proximity of Lord’s eyes and His ears.  When we receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, He makes us “the righteousness of…

Psalm 34: 4    I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. The word “sought” in this verse could be accurately translated “worship”.  What we seek, we worship! When we worship Him, His ears take note and He responds.  We benefit as His response is liberation, being delivered from…

Psalm 34:1  I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Reading this opening line knowing what David had just been through is so encouraging; having feigned being a mad man so as not to be captured.  He was being pursued, chased, hunted; in those “now” moments continued to bless and…

Psalm 33:12   Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His  own inheritance. In the midst of the political chaos, strife and division in our nation, one might ask the question “Can the USA be blessed again?”  When the focus is on all the ilk’s and woes, one would be hard…

Psalm 32: 1, 2   Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. The setting for this Psalm of David is post-transgression with the sordid circumstances of the sin with Bathsheba; which some scholars believe lasted for up to…

Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord. Good courage fastens or holds fast to the Word of the Lord.  Everything is pinned on that which one is standing for.  In that condition courage is strengthened to establish our inner resolve. Who is this promise…

The Overturner Psalm 30: 11   You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness. Whatever causes you grief, the Lord can turn it for you rather than against you.  Is it a dreaded medical notice, an overwhelming financial need, a relationship seemingly irreparable or…

God Has The Final Say Psalm 29: 3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The Lord is over many waters. The bulk of this Psalm speaks of the “voice of the Lord” and the response/results that occur when He speaks. The waters speak of situations, challenges and…
