Psalm Something (excerpt): God Helps Us in Our Many Emotions

by Tonja Taylor
9/30/2022 / Short Stories

Psalm 34 is one of my favorites. The LORD started using it decades ago to show me that He understands all my thoughts, emotions, desires, plans, etc., and helps me overcome the negatives.

Truly, everything we will ever experience, Jesus already did! He totally understands!

5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.--Isaiah 53:5, AMPC

Christ Jesus loves and believes in us. He chose us before the world began to be adopted into the Royal Family; protected; directed; provided for; taught in His ways; lavished in His love! Hallelujah!

Many of the Psalms were written by King David, when he was tending the sheep and spending quiet time with God. They contain his ups-and-downs; the good, the bad, the ugly and uglier; the sense of loss and betrayal, and the pure worship of the living God, knowing He is the only Hope and Triumph! David bares his soul, sometimes in utter dejection, in anger, but always in praise of the Master, of Jesus Christ, Whom he calls LORD.

As you read this Psalm, you will be touched by how David acknowledges the negatives, but overcomes to focus on the positives.

1 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My life makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble and afflicted hear and be glad.

3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.

4 I sought (inquired of) the Lord and required Him [of necessity and on the authority of His Word], and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked to Him and were radiant; their faces shall never blush for shame or be confused.

6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe] and each of them He delivers.

8 O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him.

9 O fear the Lord, you His saints [revere and worship Him]! For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship Him with godly fear.

10 The young lions lack food and suffer hunger, but they who seek (inquire of and require) the Lord [by right of their need and on the authority of His Word], none of them shall lack any beneficial thing.

11 Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you to revere and worshipfully fear the Lord.

12 What man is he who desires life and longs for many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.

14 Depart from evil and do good; seek, inquire for, and crave peace and pursue (go after) it!

15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the [uncompromisingly] righteous and His ears are open to their cry.

16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their distress and troubles.

18 The Lord is close to those who are of a broken heart and saves such as are crushed with sorrow for sin and are humbly and thoroughly penitent.

19 Many evils confront the [consistently] righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

20 He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.

21 Evil shall cause the death of the wicked; and they who hate the just and righteous shall be held guilty and shall be condemned.

22 The Lord redeems the lives of His servants, and none of those who take refuge and trust in Him shall be condemned or held guilty.

Jesus loves you and wants to help you with every moment of life! Call on Him today, and He will answer (Romans 10:13)!
