Let go and let God

Taste and See That the Lord Is Good
Of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away.

34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times;his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;let the humble hear and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,and let us exalt his name together!
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered meand delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant,and their faces shall never be ashamed.6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard himand saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encampsaround those who fear him, and delivers them.
8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
9 Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,for those who fear him have no lack!
10 The young lions suffer want and hunger;but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
11 Come, O children, listen to me;I will teach you the fear of the Lord
.12 What man is there who desires lifeand loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from eviland your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Turn away from evil and do good;seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteousand his ears toward their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hearsand delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to the brokenheartedand saves the crushed in spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones;not one of them is broken.
21 Affliction will slay the wicked,and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants;none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.






The verses that i highlighted are verses that really spoke to me.
Actually, verse 8 is very special to me because its a verse that i dont remember memorizing but in a hard time God totally laid that verse upon my heart. It is really amazing how God ALWAYS does that. He really will never leave you or forsake you :)
Looking at verse 19, it starts saying, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous..". Its true! As Christians, we suffer many more trials then a non believer does. BUT we have the Lord to draw near to! Verse 19 ends with, "..but the Lord delivers him out of them all!" He will! He'll never give us more then we can handle.




psalm 46:

1 God is our refuge and strength,a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam,though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah


10 “Be still, and know that I am God.I will be exalted among the nations,I will be exalted in the earth!”
11 The Lord of hosts is with us;the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah


Alot of the time, when I find myself going through something really hard, I find myself trying to fix the problem myself and running away from the Lords will and plan.
That is the worse thing you can do!!!! WE CANNOT FIX ANYTHING ON OUR OWN! God always has to remind me to be still and know that He is God! I honestly struggle with that. Sometimes its so hard to just sit and wait. God wants us to be able to have enough trust in him that we are able to be still.
Revelation 3:8 says “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name"
In hard times, dont runaway from God, cling to him!

Let go and let God!
