Psalm 34
I will bless the Lord
at
all
times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt His Name together!
4 I sought the Lord,
and He answered me
and
delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to Him are radiant,
and
their faces shall never be ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.
8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
9 Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints,
for those who fear Him have no lack!
10 The young lions suffer want and hunger;
but those who seek the Lord
lack no good thing.
11 Come, O children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 What man is there who desires life
and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Turn away from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous
and His ears toward their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 When the righteous cry for help,
the Lord hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed in spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones;
not one of them is broken.
21 Affliction will slay the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems
the life of his servants;
none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
Footnotes - Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech (Achish, the king of Gath, 1 Samuel 21:13), so that he drove him out, and he went away.
We have a friend, one we do not see a lot of, who is a Christian minister & his mother is a Psychologist. Other than being good fun, he is a calming presence, a voice of the Holy Spirit when the wild winds of life howl. He has given us good advice, isn't it easier to listen to good advice when life is calm? He gave this pearl of wisdom twice and finally it found a comfortable, enduring resting place in my memory.
And here it is:
When we are in a good place in our lives, we shake off irritating conversation. When we are in storm, irritants are amplified. We can never change the way other people behave, just our reaction to them.
We, in this generation, and definitely me, we don't like to let go and not have the last word. Here we find, the more joyful and contend in heart just aren't that bothered.
Prayer. When we pray for other people to be blessed by the LORD, we change our own hearts. Renewal & Redemption - these are the lasting gifts!
Blessed are You, Lord Jesus Christ.
Abba, Father,
We ask Jesus Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith
We ask to be being rooted and grounded in love
and have strength to comprehend with all
what is the breadth and length and height and depth
of Your Love.
To know
the love of Christ
surpassing all the books ever written
fully know
We are filled with all the fullness of God
Your Promises,
Father,
Are Sure
Dwell in us, please, Father.
Dwell in those we Love.
Help us to seek You first.
In Jesus Christ, we will finish well.
To be
more Heaven today
to see more Heaven today
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
on earth
as it is
in Heaven.
In Jesus Christ
is
Our
Love, Joy and Hope.
We pray victory
for the officials
who want
prosperity
and Jesus
for
ALL.
ALLELUIA
AND
AMEN IN JESUS CHRIST
AND
AMEN IN JESUS CHRIST


In Jesus Christ,
we live and move and
have our being.
Amen!
