Psalm 34:4
“I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.”
The key to this verse for the child of God is the very first 4 words. “I sought the Lord”. We read of the Lord’s promises to His people in His Word. We study the examples of His grace and mercy on those whom He loves. We have witnessed this same grace and mercy multiple times in our own lives and in the lives of others. Yet, we refuse to leave our fears behind and follow our Lord and Savior.
He promises to never leave us nor to ever forsake us. But how often do we forget His promises and cling to our fears? Even the smallest of fears. Those fears that don’t amount to a hill of beans. And we act as though the world is coming to an end.
Child of God, where is your faith and trust today? In the promises of our Gracious and Merciful Lord and Savior or in the fears that cause us to distance ourselves from the One who has promised to remove those fears if we will only seek Him and trust Him?
Praise ye the Lord!!!
