    Psalm 34:21-22

    Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. This is the final two verses of Psalm 34 and the culmination of this passage.  God redeems the life of his servant and those that take refuge in him will not be condemned.  This passage celebrates the hope of salvation that we have in Christ. Throughout this passage we have strong statements that God protects and cares for his people. * 4 – The LORD answered me and delivered me from all of my fears * 5 – Those who look on him shall never be ashamed * 6 – The LORD heard him and saved him from all of his troubles * 7 – (He) encamps around those who fear him and delivers them. * 9 – Those that fear him have no lack * 10 – Those that seek the LORD lack no good thing. * 15 – The Eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, his ears toward their cry. * 17 – the LORD hears and delivers them * Vs 18 – The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. * 19 – But the LORD delivers him out of them all These are strong statement that show the LORD’s love and protection for his people, but this final verse includes the phrase, “the LORD redeems the life of hiss servants,” This idea is different than simply God’s protection, his care or his provision.  Redeem is a different word and contains the idea of paying the price for someone. Webster’s dictionary defines Redeems as: * to make (something that is bad, unpleasant, etc.) better or more acceptable * to exchange (something, such as a coupon or lottery ticket) for money, an award, etc. * to buy back (something, such as a stock or bond) (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/redeem) This great Psalm concludes with a reference of how God saves his people, but not only from the cares of this world, but from the price of their sin.  Jesus is the payment that “bought us back” from the wages of our sin.  How Great is our God who loves us and paid the price to redeem us?

    Psalm 34:19-20

    Psalm 34: 19-20 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; Not one of them is broken.   This verse seems counter intuitive.  Many are the afflictions of the righteous?  Why is that?  We would hope that it says little are the afflictions of the righteous, but that is not so.  The Bible never tells Christians that their path will be easy, just that God will be with them.  In fact, many Christians experience a more difficult life because of their faith.  John 16:33 tells us that. John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world Jesus is telling his disciples that they will have a difficult life, that the life of a follower of Christ will be difficult, but that he has overcome the world.  What a wonderful thought that Jesus will be with us in our suffering. John 15:18 reminds us that Jesus was hated too, “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. Jesus was ridiculed, hated, and even murdered for who he is, how also should we be willing to suffer with him. But the verse does not leave us there, suffering all by ourselves.  Jesus tells us that He will be with us to the ends of the earth, and Hebrews asks this question, if God is for us, who can be against us? Hebrews 13:5b – 6 …because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”  So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.

    Psalm 34:17-18

    When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears And delivers them out of their troubles. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted And save the crushed in spirit.   This passage is a wonderful promise that God hears us.  It is amazing, to me, that the God of the universe cares about us.  Think of it.  The God that hangs all of the billions of stars in the sky, and suspends the Earth from nothing.  The God that causes all things to be in existence, loves you enough to know how many hairs are on your head.  To know all of the events of your life, and to know when you are calling for Him.  The God of all of the universe hears you and responds.  He keeps his ear toward those who need him.  And he is near to comfort you and save you. Thank You God for loving us enough to hear us, and to save us.

    Psalm 34:15-16

    The eyes of the LORD are towards the righteous And his ears toward their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, To cut off the memory of them from the earth. God doesn’t have eyes and ears or a face that is like ours, but these verses offer us a compelling picture of God’s distain for sin, and his blessings on those that follow him.  One of the big questions in these verses is the claim that the LORD cuts off the memory of those who do evil.  This promise certainly sounds nice, but we still learn about some of those that have done extreme evil, and they are still named in our history books.  What is this verse telling us, and is it possible that is is a gross overstatement of God’s actions? To correctly understand this, we need to first keep it in the context of the rest of the psalm.  This passage, as we have learned is showing us God’s love and protection for those who love him, and God’s distain for those that seek evil.  It promises ultimate protection and comfort for those that seek him, and ultimate ruin for those that don’t.  Many of the verses in this psalm seem to be overstatements if we look at them simply from our perspective in our lives, but God’s plan if far more reaching and His patience is far more than we can imagine.  The ultimate end that is in view in this passage is then the ultimate end of all of history.  The entire Bible is filled with God’s promise to make all things new.  This promise is that He will repay evil and He will reward good.  That God himself paid the price for sin, and He is the only judge.  God is promising that ultimately, He will make all things new, and evil will be wiped away.  He is telling us that His face is towards those that seek Him, but he is against those that do evil. Revelations 21:4 tells us of a day in the future when this will all come to pass.  He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” To download full size image, [Click] on the picture below, then [Right Click] on the picture and select “Save As.”  To change your desktop wallpaper, [Right Click] in the image and select “set as desktop background.” The Holy Bible, English Standard Version Copyright © 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.

    Psalm 34:13-14

    Keep your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking deceit. Turn away from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. These two verses are the only two physical actions commanded in the entire chapter of Psalm 34, and as such, create a sort of turning point in the Psalm.  The first part of the chapter is exhortation to seek the Lord, fear the Lord, cry out to the Lord, but the second part of the chapter is almost exclusively promises of the Lords protection, deliverance, and redemption. The commands are simple, be honest and truthful, turn away from evil (or repent from it) and do good, and pursue peace.  These commands are simple instructions that demonstrate a life spent seeking and following the Lord.  It is impossible to seek the Lord and live a life of dishonesty, and evil.   When we seek God with all our heart, and wait on his salvation our lives will be transformed (vs. 5) and we will demonstrate our transformation in a life of repentance from evil and truthfulness and peace.

    Psalm 34:11-12

    Come, O Children, listen to me; I will teach you to fear the LORD. What man is there who desires life and loves many days, That he may see good?   Many of us are familiar with Psalm 111:10, The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.  The passage for this week in Psalm 34 tells us that if we listen to the author (David) he will teach us to fear the Lord.  It would seem, then, that the “fear” of the LORD is a good thing, but what does it mean to fear the LORD? Fear, today, is a word that is associated with a strong aversion for the unknown.  It is an uneasiness, or dread of the unknown.  God is not something that we do not know, nor is he something that we need to dread.  God loves us and wants the best for us.  He wants a relationship with us and he provided for that relationship through the death of his Son, Jesus Christ.  So what does it mean that, “I will teach you to fear the Lord.”? Fear of the LORD, in Scripture is a deep respect or awe.  The word fear, in Scripture, is not the same as the way that we use it today.  This verse is calling us to have a reverence, or awe, deep respect for God.  To put him in his rightful place as king and Lord of our lives.  The word fear, here I n this verse, is conveying the idea of establishing God in his rightful place in our lives, and only when we do that can we truly desire good and seek to understand his ways.

    Psalm 34:9-10

    Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints, For those that fear him have no lack! The young lions suffer want and hunger; But those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.   These two verses tell the reader (or hearer) that the LORD is a God who provides for his saints.  God provides for those who seek and follow Him is the message of this passage.  It is a continuation of the previous passages that state that if we look on Him He will transform us and never disappoint us (vs. 5) God watches over the needs of his saints and provides for them.  Verse 9 tells us that those who fear the LORD will lack nothing.  This is a great promise because of the general nature of it.  God is promising that if I fear him I will never lack anything.  How can this be in a world that is missing so much?  The answer is in a correct understanding of the passage.  Often times we read Bible verses like these and take them to apply to our wants and our needs.  We think that God is telling us here that if we worship him, he will provide everything we want and need.  We think that God will guarantee us a easy and prosperous life.  This simply is not the case.  God is promising to be all that we need, that if we seek him he will be enough for us regardless of our material earthly needs.  This promise (and may others in Scripture) is not to imply that God will give us every earthly thing that we think we need, but that God himself will be enough for us if we truly seek him. Think of it this way, God is the creator of all of the world, the universe, and everything that we know. Acts 17:8 tells us the in him we have our being – we are here breathing today because of him.  He created us and by his power we are sustained for this life.  He appoints the days of our lives, and loves us so much that he knows how many hairs are on our heads.  Imagine, for a minute, knowing this God – who does all of this.  Can you think of anything that you would still lack in the presence of the God that has and provides all things?  The question here is God promising to provide everything that I want, or is God promising to be all that we need?  It would seem the latter is the correct interpretation.

    Psalm 34:7-8

    The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!   These two verses in this passage contain wonderful promises for those that put their hope and faith in God.  David, in the midst of trouble tells the reader to put their trust in God for deliverance, and promises, on God’s behalf, that God will deliver them.  What is most amazing about this verse is that David writes this during a period of hardship and trouble in his life.  David is not discouraged, but reminds the reader (and possibly himself) of the hope that we have in God. The first 8 verses of this Psalm are broken down into actions that we are to do and promises that God will keep.  Look at the actions that we are called to below: * Bless the LORD * Praise the LORD continually * Boast in the LORD * Be glad in the LORD * Magnify the LORD * Exalt the name of the LORD forever * Seek the LORD * Look on the LORD * Cry out to the LORD * Fear the LORD * Taste and see, the LORD is good. * Take refuge in the LORD That is quite a comprehensive list, but look at all that they have in common.  Each of these actions are related to our relationship with God and our focus on him.  God does not call us to work for our salvation, he calls us to rest in Him and enjoy him – to be glad in Him, and focus our eyes on Him.  Our part of the relationship with the LORD is simply to trust and abide in him – not some complex and difficult list of actions, merely a heart that seeks after God and loves him. When we seek after god, and bless, praise, boast, and be glad in him the LORD rewards us with the following: * The LORD answers our call * The LORD delivers us from our fears * The LORD transforms us * The LORD will never disappoint us (we will never be ashamed) * The LORD hears our cries * The LORD saves us from our troubles * The angel of the LORD encamps around us * The LORD delivers us from our troubles * The LORD is good * The LORD blesses us * The LORD is our refuge Wow!  Think of it, the God of all the universe, who created the sun, moon and all the stars, promises to deliver you if you rest in Him.  He will never fail you, and will encamp around you to be our hope and our refuge.  What a wonderful promise from a wonderful God.
