Human Response 757: Cry out and Fear the Lord

Psalm 34:6-7 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The Angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

The response to troubles is to cry to the Lord. The Lord hears him and saves him out of all his troubles. Whenever we in trouble of any kind, whether physical, financial, social, or spiritual, we turn to the Lord in prayer and pour out our soul to Him. And the Lord promises to hear and save out of all troubles. The cry comes from a “poor man,” a sinner who is weak and powerless to do anything to fix it himself. We admit our need, confess our sin, ask forgiveness, beg mercy, and receive help.

We cry out to the Lord when we are in a time of trouble and need, and we also pay attention to (fear) the Lord at all times, whether feeling troubled or not. And for His believers He commissions His guardian angels to surround us always to deliver, bless, guard, and protect us from harm and danger from enemy attacks. We believe the Word and Promise of God that the angel surrounds us always, even though we don’t see or notice it. For this we are grateful. And safe.
