Psalm 34

At this morning's church service, Pastor Eugene Seow highlighted the characteristics of a man whose heart is after God's heart, with reference to Psalm 34. King David was such a man who we could emulate in our quest to have intimacy with God.

He talked about the following 4 characteristics of the ability to:-

1. --> Reflect the presence of God;
2. --> Experience the provision and protection of God;
3. --> Advance the purposes of God; and
4. --> Live out God's promises

God wants to bless His people. However, we need to take the first step to fulfill His purposes in our lives, in order for us to claim such blessings. The foundational truth is based on our fear of the Lord. When we exalt Him and obey His laws, blessings will flow into our lives and we will lack nothing (Psalm 34:9).

How wonderful it is to claim God's evergreen promise of protection and deliverance when all we need to do is to simply love and revere Him.
