Persevering With Unchanging Fidelity to GOD Almighty Described in Psalm 34
Persevering With Unchanging Fidelity to GOD Almighty Described in Psalm 34
Positive Christianity Series Episode #323
David wrote Psalm 34 when he was being persecuted by the envy of Saul and did not know every single detail about how everything was going to work out for good. Saul was persecuting David because David was improving and getting better each day. When Saul attempted to get rid of David by sending him to fight the Philistines, it was David who prospered and defeated the Philistines. Instead of being happy that David was defeating the enemies of Israel, Saul had more envy.
Despite the envy of Saul, David was able to trust in GOD Almighty and made it through adversity. David also did not trust in Saul's daughter who was being used by Saul to control David. David trusted in GOD Almighty above connections and money. We can remind ourselves to trust in GOD Almighty with unchanging devotion and loyalty similar to David.
"Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together."- Psalm 34: 3
When David did not know how he was going to persevere despite the envy of the snake, GOD Almighty provided and helped David because of his zealous faith (Psalm 34: 19). David never doubted GOD Almighty and made sure to worship GOD Almighty above everything. GOD Almighty allowed David to persist. David was able to obtain necessities from the righteous priests and from Abigail after Nabal had denied David necessities. We learn that despite the times that we live in, GOD Almighty does not disappoint us nor forsake us. David did not trust in material wealth, connections, false relationships, nor idol worship and persevered through everything.
"I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears."- Psalm 34: 4
David kept praying to GOD Almighty despite adversity. David sang songs of worship to GOD Almighty despite persecution from the envy of the snake. Similar to David, we can have unchanging devotion and fidelity to GOD Almighty by going to prayer everyday regardless if it is a good day or not so good day. GOD Almighty listens to our prayers. Our prayers are kept in golden bowls. Our prayers ascend straight to Heaven, and GOD Almighty hears our prayers. When David called on the name of the LORD, GOD Almighty did not forsake him to the envy of the snake, Saul, Abner, Doeg, the 3,000 soldiers of Saul, nor to Nabal's greed and foolishness (Psalm 34: 21). David persisted and obtained his necessities and still improved in the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn to trust in GOD Almighty over everything. We walk by faith and not by sight. We are of good courage. David is so impressive because he never practiced idol worship a single day of his life. David kept steadfast fidelity to GOD Almighty, and GOD Almighty kept eternal and infinite fidelity to David.
"The LORD redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned."- Psalm 34: 22
Learning Hebrew
Magenu, מגנ, means our shield in Hebrew. We learn from the Sacred Scriptures that GOD Almighty is our eternal shield who guards us from adversity, opposition, and times of difficulty. GOD Almighty did not forsake Abraham and Sarah nor their eternal descendants. We can choose to worship GOD Almighty above the temporary things of this imperfect world. We learn that GOD Almighty did not forsake David and favored him with blessings. David obtained salvation and blessings for having trusted in GOD Almighty above everything. David went through adversity and envy, yet was guarded by GOD Almighty from destruction. David also improved in virtues while being gangstalked, illegally surveilled, and persecuted by the envy of the snake. David still lived to long life and never forsook the worship of GOD Almighty. David allowed Israel to abound unlike any other time from the past. GOD Almighty favored and blessed David for his unchanging fidelity. David obtained eternal salvation.
