God’s Strengthening Word: Offering God Thanks and Praiseਨਮੂਨਾ

Introduction

Psalm 34: Today’s reading is a prayer that acknowledges being saved by God, and God’s goodness and greatness are praised. The writer affirms that God hears the cries of the righteous but opposes those who do evil. All who obey the Lord will lack nothing good.

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 34:8 GNT

Find out for yourself how good the LORD is. Happy are those who find safety with him.

Reflect

Reread verses 4–6. How was the writer’s prayer answered? When or how have you experienced an answer to prayer? What advice does the writer give in verses 12–14? According to verses 15–22, how does God reward the righteous? What is the fate of those who do evil? In verses 19 and 20, the writer states that, while good people are not exempt from suffering, the Lord is nearby to save and preserve them. What are your thoughts about these verses?

Pray

I will always thank you, Lord God, and I will never stop praising you for the great things you have done. I praise you for your goodness and faithfulness. In times of trouble, I know that you are always near, filling my heart with hope. May my words and actions this day reflect your love and bring glory and honor to you. Amen.
