Let
Us Exalt His Name Together
I will bless the Lord at
all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make its
boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear of it and be
glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with
me, and let us exalt His name together.
I sought the Lord, and He
heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
They looked to Him and
were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed.
This poor man cried out,
and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord
encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them.
Psalm
34:1-7
Irrational fears, or even
legitimate ones, don’t need to terrify us. David lived as a fugitive, afraid of
King Saul who relentlessly pursued him because he was jealous of David’s
popularity with the people. David found true solace and comfort only in his
relationship with God.
When
we believe that God is good, we can learn to release our fears.
