David in his Psalms - Psalm 34 (C)

Read: Psalm 34: 18-22

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and save those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34: 18

       Yesterday, the six Forest Hill children and I went to Mikese Masai village. I asked a local Pastor, the children want to sing English and Swahili gospel songs and danced, then I wanted to preach. He told me; "OK." The reality he had forgotten my preaching, he and one evangelist took the turn to preach. They talked the subject about successful life. I knew Africans who need to repent from their wrong doing, then God brings them to be successful life. I just wanted to say a few words and took my children to leave there. I stood out to say something, I preached so well, Mikese Pastor wanted me to continue finishing it. I did as God told me that morning and he said, "Rebecca, you are going to glorify my Name in Mikese." O Lord, He is wonderful and amazed grace for me.

       Today, we will finish Psalm 34, I am blessed by God. There are more principles in blow:

(10) God is close broken one and delivering from many troubles. (V 18-19)

        "God is close the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. A righteous man may have many troubles, but he Lord delivers him from them all..." I have heard many testimonies, how's God deliver them from brokenhearted, drugs, alcohol, poor, crushed spirit and abuses. God knew how to do it, He will do again, again, then again.

(11) Full protection (Fulfilment of Jesus). (V 20; Exodus 12:46)

        "He protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken." Jesus died on the cross, all his bones would not be broken. (John 19: 31-36) We also get 110% protection, God will not allow bird to fall down on the ground, it can not be fallen on. It is our God who is strong, power and mighty.

(12) God is just and right, always fair. (V 21-22)

         "Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned. The Lord redeems his servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him." Only God bring judgement among nations and people, if God do not condemn us, who can judge us. Because we take refuge in Him alone.

       God is Good, God is Good all the time! Thank you our Lord, Jesus who is alive today, tomorrow and forever.

Give thanks to God who will deliver you in His time!
