Psalm 34David was in a strange land among strange men. He cried out to the LORD, and was rescued. He sought refuge from the LORD, and was delivered. The LORD does not promise to keep us from times of trouble. If we never saw difficulties, we would not know the joy that David knew – the joy of the LORD as a refuge. We do not need to live in peace when we can have God’s presence to take us through the war. We do not need to be wealthy when we have a connection with the owner of all things. We do not need to be in control when we have access to the sovereign God.
LORD, teach us to rely on you.
