Psalm 34:1-5
I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt His name together!
I sought the Lord and He answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to Him are radiant,
and their faces shall never be ashamed.
Recently, a very good friend of mine experienced a trial, the sort of trial that can easily frighten and cause discouragement. It was a tense time for me, and I can only imagine how it felt for her, her husband and the rest of her loved ones. Through it all, however, I marveled at the strength of my friend's faith, which remained steadfast and unwavering--even when her initial biopsy was unsuccessful and the second one postponed. For over a month, many of us prayed and waited, asking for healing, but most of all for the Lord to be glorified. And I am pleased to report that He was gracious to allow both! The mass proved to be benign and God was glorified in my friend's trust in His provision and sovereignty.
