Psalm 34:4-8 —
“ I  sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”


The psalmist declares that he sought the Lord, who heard him and delivered him from all his fears, and invites others to taste and see that the Lord is good.

There is something extraordinary about the moment you realize that the God who created every star in the universe turned his full attention toward you and heard your specific prayer. Not your grandmother's prayer. Not your pastor's prayer. Your prayer. That is not a small thing. That is the nature of a personal God who is not distant or distracted. The testimonies of ordinary people standing in a church building and declaring "he heard me" are among the most powerful proofs of God's existence available. Faith is not blind. It is built on the accumulated evidence of answered prayers. You sought him. He heard. He answered. That is why you trust him.

Trust Him this day no matter what you face! You are loved and YOU have been prayed for! Trent
