Psalms Chapter 34. Will my life really change?
As I read this chapter I see similar themes from previous chapters. I find myself challenged in similar areas. This chapter starts off with the challenge to praise the Lord always. That's my desire. That's what I really want to do. I feel like I have made the attempt to praise him more, but at the same time I feel like I have. been in a wilderness experience. This is good because it's an opportunity for God to teach me new things and change me where I need to be changed. But at the same time, it's painful. Then it's hard to praise him, but I should. And I want to.
As a result my heart has been broken. And the chapter ends saying God responds to the brokenhearted. I have witnessed his spirit working in my life and helping me through these days of brokenness and challenges. So I praise God for helping me through my times of brokenness, but I want to praise Him not as I see him delivering me from brokenness but I want to praise him while I'm being broken knowing that he will make me more like Christ and he will deliver me. I hope that makes sense
There is so much in this chapter, but verse 8 is a verse that I think that I have remembered the most from this particular chapter.
“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!”
I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Psalms 34:1
This is a song that I have been loving lately.
