David composed Psalm 34 after this incident, and the first few lines go like this:
I will extol the Lord at all times;
His praise will always be on my lips.
I will glory in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt His name together. (Psalm 34:1-3, NIV)
In the middle of it is his declaration of faith, which includes an exhortation to Godโs people:
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
Fear the Lord, you his holy people,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. (Psalm 34:8-10)
Have you experienced fear, anxiety, uncertainties, upheavals, humiliation like David? Letโs allow the word of his psalm to lead us into a place of trust and hope. For God is good indeed, and those who seek Him will lack no good thing โค๏ธ
