I must praise Him!

Psalm 34

I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together.

I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man (woman!) called, and the Lord heard him; He saved him out of all his troubles. 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.

Come, my children, listen to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their cry; the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; He protects his bones, not one of them will be broken.

Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned. The Lord redeems His servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in Him.


Do you hear it? Do you get it? If you are brokenhearted - cry out to Him, He is close to you! Are you afraid of something / someone / some situation? Cry out to Him, He will deliver you from it. Do you feel ashamed? Cry out to Him, He will not cover your face with it! Do you think you are lacking? Cry out to Him, in Him you lack nothing! Sisters, please don't settle for a mediocre relationship with Jesus - cry out, cry out, cry out. He hears you. He sees you. He loves you. He is close - call to Him!

If you look back several entries ago, you will see I was there, deep in a pit of despair. God delivered me! He pulled me out of the discontentment, discouragement and despair when I cried out to Him. When He knew that I knew that no one else could do it for me - not even myself. Especially not myself.

I must praise Him! My heart, my mouth, my mind cannot cease from doing so. I have never been more in love with Jesus, with my husband and my boys that I am at this moment. God has me overflowing with love. I must praise Him! I must praise Him.

Praise You, my Rock. My Redeemer, may my life glorify You in every way. May I always be radiant from looking to You. You alone are worthy, You alone are good.
