Psalm 34 | Taste and See

The apostle Peter used Psalm 34 to prepare believers for suffering (1 Peter 2:3 & 3:10-12). This psalm is a call to celebrate King David's deliverance from affliction but also to prepare us for our own afflictions, present or future. Being God's people, "the righteous" doesn't mean we will have an easy life. Actually, life comes with many afflictions of the righteous (Psalm 34:19), but the LORD delivers us out of them all. This is the context for "tasting that the Lord is good". To trust him, rest in him during afflictions and see that He is good! Come and magnify the Lord with me this Sunday; let's exalt his name together for He is good.
