Daily Devotion of Psalm 34


Daily Nugget:
When a person becomes born-again into the family of God, he is not forgotten or forsaken. God knows all about him. Psalm 34 shares some of what God knows about His people:

  • God is aware when we give Him honor and credit for what He has done: vs. 2, 3.
  • God is aware of who seeks Him: vs. 4.
  • God knows of our fears: vss. 4, 9.
  • God knows the cries of those sad, humbled, and hurting: vss. 6, 15, 17, 18.
  • God knows who trust Him: vs. 8.
  • God knows of our needs: vss. 9, 10.
  • God knows what we say: vs. 13.
  • God knows our intents, our heart, and actions: vs. 14.

Do not be afraid Christian, your heavenly Father knows all about you. You are not forgotten.

Today’s Thought: 
“Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.” Luke 12:6-7

Words to Understand:
Contrite: broken-hearted over sin
Poor man: sad, humbled, lowly

Today’s Reading:
Psalm 34
1 A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not 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 encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
11 ¶ Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
