Psalm 34:7-10
The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good
thing.
Promises, Promises
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite "promise passages" in the Bible. It is power packed, loaded with good news! I don't know about you, but, I need some good news.
It has been a hard couple of days. At the school where I work, a woman died suddenly and accidentally. She left three children and a husband behind. Tragic, painful, it has consumed my thoughts, my prayers and my sleep.
It is good for me to bring all my heartache and pain to the Lord. Then I remember that He is good, and blessed (fortunate)am I, when I trust him and take refuge in Him. He will work out all the details. I know that. Those who seek Him lack no good thing.
I love the image of the angel of the Lord encamping around me! Those feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety that can creep in when life gets rough should dwindle to nothingness with this promise. Nothing is bigger than our God, and he will see to it that we are safe with our own personal angelic bodyguard. :)
