Persevering With Unchanging Fidelity to GOD Almighty in Psalm 34

 Persevering With Unchanging Fidelity to GOD Almighty Described in Psalm 34

Positive Christianity Series Episode #328

David instructs us in the Psalms about the need to speak and write truth instead of saying temporary lies and deceit. We learn that the commandments of Moses tell us that we need to speak truth instead of falseness. David lived his life practicing righteousness and speaking truth. David was not a hypocrite. David helps us know that we can worship GOD Almighty above everything of this temporary and imperfect world. We develop true righteousness in the worship of GOD Almighty and not self-righteousness that occurs in hypocrisy and idol worship. We practice fidelity to GOD Almighty and have favor and blessings. We can persevere being humble and real in our belief and faith and not hypocritical like Saul (2 Samuel 23: 3-4).  

"Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit."- Psalm 34: 13

David spoke truth and did not lie. David learned from being persecuted by Saul's envy that he should not be hypocritical. Saul would slander David and say that David was looking to harm Saul while Saul was gangstalking David. The adversity allowed David to know that he could not be false nor deceitful.

When David had authority over Israel, he respected his citizens and also instructed the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that while the men of David including Abiathar, Joab, and Abishai were impressive, he did not persecute and envy them. David saw that his mighty men were impressive being able to defeat larger armies in the worship of GOD Almighty. Abiathar, Joab, and Abishai improved in the worship of GOD Almighty along with Israel. David did not envy nor wish harm to his impressive bretheren. David was different from Saul. David understood that iniquity does not help anyone and instead worshiped GOD Almighty and persevered. 

"Turn away from evil and practice good; seek peace and pursue it."- Psalm 34: 14

David was able to prosper worshiping GOD Almighty and by practicing genuine empathy. Instead of resenting his men of valor who also defeated Philistine giants (after seeing the example of David and describes why the snake hates individuals with zeal and humility), David kept genuine empathy to his brave men. David removed envy and wickedness. David did not compare himself to his brave men knowing that each person is distinct and unique. We learn that Abiathar never renounced the worship of GOD Almighty despite being persecuted by Saul and was favored by GOD Almighty and David. Abishai had the opportunity to go to Saul's camp only with David, despite there being 3,000 soldiers, and had the chance to strike down Saul. Joab was able to destroy opposition to David including Abner and Ish-bosheth's rebellion. Eleazar also defeated Philistines by himself. Sibbecai and Elhanan destroyed Philistine giants similar to David. We learn that Jashobeam destroyed 300 hostile soldiers by himself. Despite David having impressive individuals, he did not envy them knowing that they were impressive because they worshiped GOD Almighty. We learn that we can be unique and distinct without having to envy others. This wisdom prevents us from practicing evil based on resentments, false "comparisons", envy, and coveting. David allowed Israel to prosper because he taught the worship of GOD Almighty in obedience to the commandments of Moses. David taught the Psalms and the need to love GOD Almighty above everything. David taught genuine empathy and filial love and prevented conflict and division. We learn that Israel had prosperity in the times of Moses and Joshua because they were harmonious and practiced genuine empathy. We learn that King Jesus Christ also unified Israel by healing and instructing genuine empathy instead of division. Paul also instructed empathy and obedience to GOD Almighty. We learn that true leadership instructs empathy and justice instead of conflict and division. We persevere without comparing ourselves falsely with others, and instead have gratitude and genuine empathy. Saul hated and envied David, yet David never hated nor envied Abiathar, Joab, Abishai, Eleazar, Sibbecai, nor Elhanan who were his bretheren. If individuals do not have genuine empathy, it is because they do not worship the Eternal and Infinite GOD of gods. 

"Blessed be the LORD, the GOD of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting."- 1 Chronicles 16: 36

Learning Hebrew

Heva, הב, means woman in Hebrew. Heva is the name that GOD Almighty gave to the first woman. We learn that while Eve disobeyed GOD Almighty and obtained difficulties, Sarah obtained favor and blessings for worshiping GOD Almighty. We learn that Sarah became Mother of Nations. (There are multiple nations that are Jewish and not just Israel.) Sarah was given great favor for worshiping GOD Almighty. From Sarah's descendants arise David's descendants who were able to be impressive in the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that there are impressive righteous women who chose to worship GOD Almighty instead of practice sin. We learn that Sarah was impressive for trusting in GOD Almighty and never practicing idol worship. Abigail was able to help David when Nabal was envious or fearful of Saul. Abigail was wise and impressive for worshiping GOD Almighty and not going along with Nabal's envy. Jehoshebeath guarded Joash despite envy from Athalia's foolishness. Jehoshebeath was also impressive. Mary was also impressive for being humble. Mary gave birth to King Jesus Christ and with Joseph raised up the Messiah in the faith despite envy from Herod. We learn that righteous individuals are impressive because they choose to love GOD Almighty above everything and never practiced idol worship. We learn to respect both genders knowing that the problems of the world are not due to a person's gender but because they decide to practice idol worship. There are impressive men and women because they decide to worship the true GOD of gods and not a lying snake.
