Day 34

PSALM 34: ‘Taste and see that the LORD is good’

Psalm 34 is one of 12 psalms of David where the occasion which prompted the psalm is explained. The others are 3, 7, 18, 51, 52, 54, 56, 57, 59, 60, 142. In this case we’re probably meant to think of 2 Samuel 21:10-15 (although the names of the king are a bit different). How does the background help in interpreting the psalm?

This psalm contains more instruction than most psalms (it’s a bit like Psalm 1). What are the various promises you can find? How do they make you feel?

How do we see the fulfilment of these promises in Jesus?

Today’s Prayer Suggestions

1. Taste and see that the Lord is good and pray for trust in His goodness through every circumstance.

2. Pray for a deeper appreciation of the good things we enjoy as gather around Jesus and worship Him each Sunday.

3. Griffith Christian Students: Pray that the staff team would be able to train the student members of the group with wisdom.
