His Praise Will Always Be On My Lips

 I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips - Psalm 34:1.

          The annotation of Psalm 34 says that it is the Psalm of David when he pretended madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. David sang this Psalm when he was in a life-threatening situation and when he was very much afraid. That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath. But the servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David, the king of the land? Isn’t he the one they sing about in their dances: “‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?” David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish king of Gath. So he pretended to be insane in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard. Achish said to his servants, “Look at the man! He is insane! Why bring him to me? - 1 Samuel 21:10-14. 

                In Psalm 34, David also testified about being heard and rescued by God. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them - Psalm 34:4-7.

             Let us bless the Lord at all times and let His praises be always be on our lips irrespective of situations. 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. Come and hear, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue - Psalm 66:16-19. 

                                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us bless You at all times and let Your praises be always on our lips. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
