This morning we are going to step away from our study in the book of Habakkuk but we will get back to Habakkuk next week. Today I just want to lift up our eyes from all the mess and focus our gaze on God—to see Him once again as the good God who delivers His people from our fears, and saves us out of our trouble, and provides all our needs.
The Lord is
!
Psalm 34:1–10
1 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.
Today I want to show you, from David’s experience three steps you can take to keep from becoming paralyzed by danger and fear.
the Lord – vs. 1-3
the Lord – vs. 4-7
the Lord – vs. 8-10
Take Psalm 34 and make it the desire of your heart and the pledge of your life. Praise the Lord, Seek the Lord, Enjoy the Lord and you will get through this—and maybe you’ll even lead others to know, trust, and love God along the way.
