—Psalm 34:1-8
by: Dale E. Rood.
While Ecclesiastes represents what life is like without the Lord, this passage represents what life is like with the Lord. Consider the declarations found here: 1) the Lord answers when we call (v. 4); 2) the Lord delivers us from fear (v.4); 3) there is no shame for the Lord’s people (v. 5); 4) the Lord saves us from all troubles (v. 6); 5) the Lord’s angels encircle the people of God (v. 7); and 6) life in the Lord tastes good (v. 8—try it, you’ll like it). No wonder the psalmist rejoices in the Lord. (vv. 1-3).
