Read Psalm 34 – The first thing we are told is that this was written as a praise to God right after David pretended to be insane before Abimelech…. And that is a grand adventure covered in 1 Samuel 21 if you are stirred to know more. Suffice to say, it was an ‘only God’ kind of escape from certain death, and David is quick to respond in praise and encouragement for others to do the same.
“I sought the LORD and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. ” :4-5
Have you seen that? Who comes to mind when you think of someone who walks closest to Jesus? What about their countenance stands out? You can see it, right? Jesus offers this to all who seek him, including and especially you! (I say that because this is one gift each person must say yes to personally. )
“The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. ” :7
Will you strive to carry that thought with you? In Christ, you do not walk alone.
“The LORD is close to the broken hearts and saves those who are crushed in spirit. “:18
The life preserver is right there in Jesus. Take hold and rejoice!
