Today's Blog Title: "A Righteous Man Plea For Deliverance"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 34:1-22
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 34:4 "I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all of my fears."
Psalm 34 is a wisdom Psalm and a psalm of praise. David praises the Lord for His goodness to him and calls on the us to "taste and see the Lord is good. Taking the role of a teacher, David urges his people to do good, assuring them that God supervises the results of their choices and responds to the cry of the righteous.
Verse 8 says to "taste and see". Taste is an important figure of speech in the Bible. Everywhere it's used figuratively, taste suggests full participation in and/or experience of the the thing enjoyed. Here in the verse is the invitation to "taste and see that the Lord is good" is a call to reply fully on Him and to experience the benefits of a personal relationship with God.
The descriptions of a blessed person found in this psalm are: (1) one who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked (2) whose sins are covered (3) takes refuge in Him (4) makes the Lord his trust (5) has regard for the weak and possesses the strength of the Lord (6) have learned to acclaim the Lord (7) disciplined by Him (8) maintain justice (9) fear the Lord (10) blameless for they keep the Lord's statutes (11) whose help and hope is in the Lord. These are the qualities that bring us the blessings God is so eager to pour out to His own.
The fear of the Lord in verse 11-16 means "to show respect for God". God actively observes our actions and so orders the consequences of our moral choices and that good is rewarded and evil is punished. Learning to fear the Lord means in part to respect God enough that we choose to do what is right and leave the results to Him.
Today's Hymn: "Most Holy One"
Holy One, Most Holy One, Your ways are higher than mine.
Holy One, Most Holy One, May Your ways be mine.
Your ways are higher that the mountains, Your love is deeper than the sea
Your mercy, flowing like a fountain, has touched my heart and made me free
Holy One, Most Holy One, Your ways are higher than mine
Holy One Most Holy One, May Your ways be mine.
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, How thankful we are are to you that Your ways are higher than the mountains, that your love is deeper than the deepest sea, that your never ending mercy flows like a river and my acceptance of You has indeed set me free. Bless us Abba father as we seek to do Your will and live our lives for Thee.
Amen
