The Provision of The Lord-Our Help in Troubled Times! Psalm 34

Psalm 34
1 I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.

We are to lift up and exult to the highest place in Our lives and Praise God.
2 I will glory in the LORD;  adoring praise or worshipful thanksgiving: Give glory to God. 
   let the afflicted (those who have mental distress the defeated the troubled) hear and rejoice.
3 Glorify the LORD with me;
let us exalt his name together.
(We are to put God in the Highest Place and exult Him with our Praise by making ourselves meek to make ourselves lower in place to His Being and His will-the choices He makes for our lives are to take precedence and we are to live out His ways of being)
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.

Through this we know we can trust in the Lord to deliver us and to answer our prayers!
5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.

Shame is guilt but when we look to God He removes our guilt and sin and gives us His righteousness and makes us to be radiant.To be bright with Joy and Hope.
6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.
The Lords angels surround and protect those who exult and praise God.
When we praise God The Father Son Holy Spirit we are made His own and protected because God inhabits the praises of His people He is with us and all His heavenly host with Him are obediant to Him and obey Jesus word and go to work according to the word of God to establish God's word and will His choices for us.So we can stand in faith on the word in Hope and Praise of Jesus and know we can have the salvation and protection and blessing through Jesus.We can have all the promises in scripture given through Jesus's covenant with us He gives us His favour and blessings.
8 Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

To taste means:
to try or test the flavor or quality of (something) by taking some into the mouth: to taste food.
to have or get experience, especially a slight experience: these young men who had only begun to taste life. So when the word says to taste it means to put into your mouth to say to speak to act on and to experience and see the resulting consequence of the goodness we get when we act on God's word. We sow the seed of The Word with our words and act on what the word says do we can have the abundance of blessing God has promised Amen!
9 Fear (Exult with Praise and put His being and will for our lives above all else) the LORD, you his holy people, for those who fear-Exult Him lack nothing.
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
To seek means to go in search or quest of: to seek the truth.

to try to find or discover by searching or questioning: to seek the solution to a problem.
to try to obtain to come into possesion of; get, acquire, or procure, as through an effort or by a request:
to try or attempt (usually followed by an infinitive): to seek to convince a person.
to go to: to seek a place to rest.
God says through this scripture to seek to obtain and get the results of the blessing by
1. Asking and receiving by asking in prayer
2. Act on what the word says to do and reap good blessings
11 Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue from evil 
Here is a promise for long life and a quality Good life then we are to speak and act on His word
and we should with conscious thought on purpose choose to live according to God's ways and it gives us long and strong quality of life and blessings.
   and your lips from telling lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16 but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
to blot out their name from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; this shows God hears our prayers!
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

19 The righteous person may have many troubles,
but the LORD delivers him from them all;
20 he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.

21 Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
22 The LORD will rescue his servants;
no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

To take refuge means shelter or protection from danger, trouble, etc.: to take refuge from a storm.
 a place of shelter, protection, or safety.  
anything to which one has recourse for aid, relief, or escape. 
So we can have protection in Jesus He delivers us from and takes us through our troubles and to the place of blessing gives us help provision and provides the way to live and be in Jesus.He rescues us!
We won't be condemmend we won't have judgemnet or disapproval or guilt against us our guilt is removed!Through Christ Jesus we are redeemed amen Praise Jesus!

Psalm 33 The Lord God Is Creator through His Word

Psalm 33

1 Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous;
it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2 Praise the LORD with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.

4 For the word of the LORD is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.

6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars;
he puts the deep into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD;
let all the people of the world revere him.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.

10 The LORD foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the LORD looks down
and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
15 he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.

16 No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.

20 We wait in hope for the LORD;
he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22 May your unfailing love be with us, LORD,
even as we put our hope in you.


In Psalm 33 we see that The Lord is Our Creator He made the universe and all that is in it. Through His Word all was made. Praise God and thank Him for all we have been provided and blessed with amen.

The ways in which The Lord Blesses Us!

Psalm 32

1 Blessed is the one
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed is the one
whose sin the LORD does not count against them
and in whose spirit is no deceit.

3 When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night
your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.

5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
my transgressions to the LORD.”
And you forgave
the guilt of my sin.

6 Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
will not reach them.
7 You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
9 Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.
10 Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the LORD’s unfailing love
surrounds the one who trusts in him.

11 Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!



This psalm shows us How the Lord Blesses us. First we need to repeant and turn from sin and
 pray to God asking Him to forgive us. He is faithfull and will forgive our sin. He covers our sin and cleanses us through the blood of Jesus who died on the cross to save us.Then He will bless us abundantly with protection and delivers us.He teaches us His word.  Praise The Lord God Our Heavenly Father Jesus Holy Spirit forever that He is glorifed and exulted with our praise amen!

psalm 31 The Lord preserves those Who are True

 Psalm 31
1 In you, LORD, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame;
deliver me in your righteousness.

Through Christ Jesus we have righteousness our guilt is removed.
2 Turn your ear to me,
come quickly to my rescue;
be my rock of refuge,
a strong fortress to save me.
3 Since you are my rock and my fortress,
for the sake of your name lead and guide me.
4 Keep me free from the trap that is set for me,
for you are my refuge.
5 Into your hands I commit my spirit;
deliver me, LORD, my faithful God.

We can trust in Jesus who through salvation gives us new birth through the Holy Spirit.

6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols;
as for me, I trust in the LORD.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love,
for you saw my affliction
and knew the anguish of my soul.

God sees our afflictions-pain and suffering and the soul our mind will and emotions.He knows what we are going through and understands even when no one else does Our Lord Jesus understands.We can take comfort in that knowing He cares.
8 You have not given me into the hands of the enemy
but have set my feet in a spacious place.

9 Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am in distress;
my eyes grow weak with sorrow,
my soul and body with grief.
10 My life is consumed by anguish
and my years by groaning;
my strength fails because of my affliction,
   and my bones grow weak.
11 Because of all my enemies,
I am the utter contempt of my neighbors
and an object of dread to my closest friends—
those who see me on the street flee from me.

When those around us turn their backs  and betray us when our friends and family aren't there we have comfort knowing God is there for us.He calls us in His ways on a path where we are made to understand He is our source and strength and provision of help and comfort.He calls us out into these kind of circumstances where we feel alone so we don't look to other people or depend on others because people can and will disappoint but Our God Lord Almighty is the one who never fails He is always faithfull and cares for each one of us individually.Amen
12 I am forgotten as though I were dead;
I have become like broken pottery.
13 For I hear many whispering,
“Terror on every side!”
They conspire against me
and plot to take my life.

14 But I trust in you, LORD;
I say, “You are my God.”
15 My times are in your hands;
deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
from those who pursue me.
16 Let your face shine on your servant;
save me in your unfailing love.
17 Let me not be put to shame, LORD,
for I have cried out to you;
but let the wicked be put to shame
and be silent in the realm of the dead.
18 Let their lying lips be silenced,
for with pride and contempt
they speak arrogantly against the righteous.

19 How abundant are the good things
that you have stored up for those who fear you,
that you bestow in the sight of all,
on those who take refuge in you.
20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them
from all human intrigues;
you keep them safe in your dwelling
from accusing tongues.

21 Praise be to the LORD,
for he showed me the wonders of his love
when I was in a city under siege.
22 In my alarm I said,
“I am cut off from your sight!”
Yet you heard my cry for mercy
when I called to you for help.

23 Love the LORD, all his faithful people! The LORD preserves those who are true to him,
but the proud he pays back in full.
24 Be strong and take heart,
all you who hope in the LORD.

Psalm 30 The Lord provides Healing and Raises us to Life

  psalm 30. A song. For the dedication of the temple.  Of David. 1 I will exalt you, LORD,
for you lifted me out of the depths
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
2 LORD my God, I called to you for help,
and you healed me.


This scripture shows we can pray and receive healing from God he delivers us and raises us to life.

3 You, LORD, brought me up from the realm of the dead;
you spared me from going down to the pit.

4 Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people;
praise his holy name. 
Praise Jesus5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.

6 When I felt secure, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”
7 LORD, when you favored me,
you made my royal mountain stand firm;
but when you hid your face,
I was dismayed.

8 To you, LORD, I called;
to the Lord I cried for mercy:
9 “What is gained if I am silenced,
if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
10 Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me;
LORD, be my help.”

11 You turned my wailing into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
LORD my God, I will praise you forever.

Psalm 29 The answer to Who is God?

Psalm 29

A psalm of David.

the voice of the LORD is majestic.

Sirion  like a young wild ox.

with flashes of lightning.

the LORD blesses his people with peace.
