David in his Psalms - Psalm 34 (A)

Read: Psalm 34: 1-10; 1 Samuel 21:13

This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Psalm 34: 6-8

       Yesterday, African Internet did not work all time long. So that I can't write nothing. I am so sorry for reading late. May you bless from the Scripture Verses today in the Name of Jesus, Amen!

        In 1 Samuel 21:13 said, "So he (David) pretended to be insane in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his bread." David wants to illuminate God's subsequent goodness.

         In Psalm 34 is Psalm of David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left. (1 Samuel 21: 13)

        Now we look into Psalm 34 where has any principle to learn for us:

(1) Beginning with Praise (V 1-3).

      "I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his Name together." David praised the Lord with his lips, he rejoiced in Him and God was with David and he glorify God's name. Because David has known God who he is, and he is able to praise His Name.

(2) Fear NOT (V4).

      "I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears." David knew that God will deliver him from all his fears and answer his requests. Praise the Lord! God is always there to deliver us from all our fear and answer our prayer.

(3) Hope in God (V5).

      "Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame," Whoever hopes in God, his or her face will never be covered with shame as God's promise.

(4) God delivered David who fear him. (V6-7)

       "This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he save him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him and he delivers them." David also knew that God will save him out of his troubles, the angel of the Lord will protect David who fears God and he will deliver them who call on His Name.

(5) God's Blessing. (V 8-10)

       "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing." David showed that God is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in God and fear Him, you will lack nothing, we will have full of life, abundant life (John 10: 10). Those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting  shadows. (James 1: 17)

        I hope that you will enjoy the word of God today. See you tomorrow with Psalm 34, if there are Internet, I will be there to wait for you.

Good and Perfect gift is Jesus himself with salvation and deliverance.
