THE BOOK OF PSALMS

Psalms - Chapter 34

 

Psalms 34:1 says, "[[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." "Abimelech" means "my father is king - father of the king." No matter how dreadful things seem or are within your life, notably when satan is upon this earth perpetrating his deception, his kenite children preparing the way as we now live; never worry. Always have a heart and mind that is not shaken as you continue to give "Father God Almighty" all praise and glory, having faith with trust, loving our LORD with joyful thanksgiving, for He is your refuge. 

Psalms 34:2 says, "My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad." Let your spiritual self "celebrate {boast}" the goodness of our Father God who always strengthens you during times of affliction spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally, so that all who see you also share in the loving kindness of Father towards His children. 

Psalms 34:3 says, "O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together." When you come together in faithful study of the Word of Almighty God, this is true christian fellowship as you grow in truth with understanding, which is the only way possible to bless, glorify and lift our "LORD up to His rightful place on His Throne", within your own heart. 

Psalms 34:4 says, "I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears." As all yet live within their flesh bodies, there are many troubles all around us. When satan is cast to this earth as the first/false anti-christ, there shall be many troubles surrounding the very elect. There is nothing to panic or be frightened of since all you have to do is speak with Father God Almighty in prayer from a trusting heart of belief and our LORD will hear and deliver you from all of your "doubts or worries {fears}."  Never forget that our Father has promised to keep His eyes on all of His children who are serving Him according to His Word, staying away from the doctrines and traditions of men. 

Psalms 34:5 says, "They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed." Keep your heart and mind on the "Truth of our Father's Word" so that you stay on the path of righteous through "Christ Jesus who is the Light of the world" and your burdens will fade away. If you follow the instructions of our Father through His Word, you will never be "confused {ashamed}." Keep your eyes on "Father God through His Word" and be faithful. Peter, by faith, walked on the water; however as soon as he took his eyes off of Christ Jesus, he began to sink [Matthew - Chapter 14]. If you do not want the angry waves of the wicked in spirit or the wicked one who is satan to swallow you up, keep your eyes, heart and mind on our "Living Word who is Christ Jesus." 

Psalms 34:6 says, "This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles." If you find yourself afflicted or oppressed when satan, the wicked one is cast to this earth to perpetrate his deception, call out to Father God and He will hear and rescue you from your distress when you have and understand the reality of true christianity within your heart and mind. 

Psalms 34:7 says, "The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them." When you "love and revere {fear}" Father God Almighty, He will send His angels manifested in a form that you can see and understand to help you through your trials and tribulations. Father God will free you from troubles when you love, have faith and trust in Him. 

Psalms 34:8 says, "O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him." "Perceive, eat {taste}" of the Truth of our Father's Word which brings "understanding {good}" since it teaches the difference between right and wrong. The "Truth of our Father's Word is sweet as honey" as is taught in Ezekiel - Chapter 3. You "taste of the sweetness of our Father's Word" when you study with understanding so you can "stand, by faith" on "His Promises." It is impossible to know and understand the "Promises of our Father God if" you do not "study His Word." 

Psalms 34:9 says, "O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him." The "very elect love {saints - fear}" our Father God who teaches us through His Word, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want [Psalms 23:1]." Father sees to His children having all that they need spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally just as He promises and knowing this truth, always thank our LORD for His loving kindness and tender mercy. When you serve Almighty God through His Word, there is nothing that you are needful of that our LORD will not provide. Father knows what you have need of before you even ask and will give you what you ask for according to that which "He knows is right for you." 

Psalms 34:10 says, "The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing." The "wicked ones {young lions}" even though they are strong in terms of carnal things, they are starving to death spiritually. All those who are under the will of Almighty God, spiritually fed with their gospel armor in place ready to "stand", Father has promised an "inheritance {good thing}" in the "Eternal or Heavenly Kingdom." As we walk within our flesh bodies, Father God will see to you having all that is needful, however you may not always receive all that you ask for since what you want may move you from a righteous path. Our LORD knows what is best for His children who are under His will and He surely does provide. 

Psalms 34:11 says, "Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD." Gather together all you christians who are yet drinking the milk of our Father's Word so you can get into the meat of truth with faithful study [Hebrews - Chapter 5], seeking that increase of understanding only our LORD can give. If you listen to the "voice of Almighty God through His Word {Christ Jesus}", the "Holy Spirit of Father God" will teach you, with understanding what, "thus saith our LORD." Truth will not be handed to you on a silver platter, it is necessary to "study and show yourself approved, rightly dividing the word of truth [­II Timothy 2:15]. 

Psalms 34:12 says, "What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?" You cannot add one day to your life through worry as Christ Jesus taught in Matthew 6:26. Worry shortens your life; however love, faith and trust in our Father God will add many days to your life as your walk in the flesh since every day is a blessing; no need to count. It gets greater later when in your spiritual body with our Father God and Christ Jesus throughout the Eternity, since there are no days and nights to count, just peace and rest in our LORD.
 

Psalms 34:13 says, "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile." Most are taught by their parents who walk a christian path, "if you do not have something good to say about someone, keep your mouth shut." When you say bad things, gossip or are deceitful towards anyone, it can cause them hurt or even injury. The pulpit gurus should especially take note of this teaching since their Biblical illiteracy causes them to spew many deceitful things since they are teaching lies, doctrines and traditions of their own minds which shall cause grief for many calling themselves christians when they bow down and worship satan, believing him to be our True Christ here to rapture them away. 

Psalms 34:14 says, "Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it." To be pleasing to our Father God who will protect and keep you on a righteous path, keep your mind on the "Prince of Peace who is Christ Jesus [Isaiah 9:6­]." Hebrews 12:14 says, "Follow peace with all men, and holiness {sanctification}, without which no man shall see the Lord:" You will not see our Father God and be a part of the Eternity if you do not seek Christ Jesus, our Living Word so that you do good things which pleases our Father God. Rebuke satan, order him out of your life in the "Name of Christ Jesus" by studying the "Word of Almighty God." 

Psalms 34:15 says, "The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry." You are righteous and do right when you study Father's Word which teaches that which is right from that which is wrong. Father God sees and hears all of His children, however He answers those who are under His will, doing the very best they can to walk a righteous path which pleases our LORD who abundantly blesses them. If Father God only hears from you when you have a need, He will answer you in kind. Remember, Father God is always "fair" as you get exactly what you deserve. 

Psalms 34:16 says, "The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth." Father God will "be against and turn away {face}" from His enemies; evil people. This is not speaking of falling short since all of Father's children, including the very elect, will surely sin, that being the weakness of the flesh, the blessing coming with the gift of repentance. This is speaking of satan most assuredly and his kenite children who do not care about our Father God at all, and, do all within their power to remove those who do believe from under the grace of our LORD. We just learned in the previous Verse that Father's eyes are on the righteous and now we learn that Father turns His back on those who perpetrate evil against Him. The time will come when our LORD shall have His vengeance against them as is taught in Romans 12:19. Knowing that satan is doomed to become ashes from within, having been judged, those who serve him shall likewise have that same fate if they do not change their ways, loving our Father God as the Millennial Kingdom teaching comes to its end. 

Psalms 34:17 says, "The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles." Father God does and will rescue His children in times of trouble who do all they can to walk a righteous path as we now live in the flesh, and most assuredly will rescue those who "stand" for Him when satan is cast to this earth to perpetrate his great deception. Love, trust and place your confidence in our Father God as you study His Word and He will always save you from all enemies. I Corinthians 10:13 says, "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." 

Psalms 34:18 says, "The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit." "Nigh" means to be "near, close by, ready to help." Father God is right there with you when your "soul despairs {broken heart}" and you spirit is "crushed {contrite}" because you have failed to be pleasing to our Father, taking the wrong path. When you are of Almighty God, your conscious causes you to return to Father with a repentant heart. Father is always right there ready to receive and forgive when you come before "His Throne in the Name of Christ Jesus" from a pure heart of remorse. Luke 15:7 says, "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance." 

Psalms 34:19 says, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all." While we have that bad habit of bringing "distress and misery {afflictions}" upon ourselves when failing to study our Father's Word that keeps you away from trouble, the greatest "distress and misery" comes from satan when you do study since he hates it when Father's children are faithful. In his evilness, satan will prey on your weaknesses with all kinds of traps and snares as he hopes you will become distressed and not serve Father God. Just remember, when you call on our LORD in times of trouble, He will hear and answer your call if you put your trust in Him. Also keep in mind that our Father will also put obstacles in your path to test you, assuring that you will come to Him and not believe you can stand on and by your own devices since there is no good thing you can do without the "blessings of our LORD." 

Psalms 34:20 says, "He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken." "He" is our "Messiah, Christ Jesus." John 19:36 says, "For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken." When our Lord Jesus Christ was on the cross at Calvary, not one of His bones was broken because He is our "Passover Lamb." This was taught in Exodus 12:46 speaking of the lamb that was prepared for the "Passover Meal {before Christ Jesus} saying, "In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof." The enemies of our Father God pierced the side of Christ Jesus with a spear rather than to break His bones, our Father's Word coming to pass just as it was written in Psalms - Chapter 22. All those who are a part of the many-membered "Body of Christ Jesus" are of His "marrow {bones} as they follow His teachings, praising Father God from joyful hearts throughout the Eternity.  

Psalms 34:21 says, "Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate." For all those who continue to follow the "desolator who is satan" when he is loosed for a short season after the Millennial Kingdom teaching [Revelation - Chapter 20], they shall become ashes from within as satan by their own evil devices. 

Psalms 34:22 says, "The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate." "Redeemeth" means "to ransom, rescue, redeem, deliver." All of our Father's children who love and trust in "His Promises" shall never be a part of the deception of satan, which means they shall never be desolate since our LORD shall deliver them from all enemies and afflictions through "His Power and Might." All who love "YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty" are delivered and redeemed from the bondage of death [satan] by and through the "Blood of Yeshua, Christ Jesus."  Amen Amen {That's That}!~
