Good Morning Friends,
“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. 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 34:4-8)
David sought the Lord and when he did, God
was there. That is what God has
promised. “Seek and you will find.”
(Matthew 7:7) “You will seek me and find
me when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13)
Look at the blessings that David found in the
Lord:
God delivered David from his fears. David found God to be a safe haven in times
of trouble, a rock in uncertain times.
David had a lot to be afraid of:
his own inadequacies and failures, the heavy responsibilities that he
carried as king, a family that often was a disaster. God was faithful to help David in all his
fears.
God delivered David from shame and
guilt. The sins of David’s past no
longer troubled David’s present. In God,
David’s sins were dealt with and the shame and guilt removed.
David found that God listened despite the
fact that David had little to offer God.
He was a poor man in God’s sight, but God heard him when he cried out to
Him.
David found protection in God and His
messengers. Unexplainable things
happened when David trusted God. Unseen
protectors watched over David.
David offers this invitation to all who will
listen to him: try God yourself! Taste and see what the Lord is like. Put God to the test and you’ll see that the
blessings David experienced can be yours, too!
His, by Grace,
Steve
