“I sought the LORD, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.” (Psalm 34:4)
In this world, many things cause human beings to be afraid. Diseases, the burden of debts, the harmful actions of people who oppose us, and fear about the future due to unemployment often disturb our hearts. At such times, our friends and relatives may try to encourage us with comforting words. However, when we are alone, all those fears once again surround and overwhelm us.
In today’s meditation verse, David writes what he discovered from his own experience:
“This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.” (Psalm 34:6)
This means that unlike human beings who offer only words of comfort, God does not merely console us; rather, He truly delivers us from all our fears.
If fear is to depart from us, it is essential that we first live as those who truly love the Lord. Instead of sharing our pain and fears only with people of this world—friends and relatives—we must come to a place where we share them with the Lord. When we love Him, we are able to pour out our problems before Him just as we would share our heart with a close friend.
When we love the Lord with perfect love, that love drives away fear, as the apostle John declares:
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.” (1 John 4:18)
If fear arises within us, it means that we have not yet reached completeness in our love toward God. But when we possess perfect love for Him, we can confidently say, “The God whom I love loves me; therefore, He will surely deliver me from all my afflictions.”
When an incurable disease attacks us and doctors have given up hope, no human being can remove our fear. When overwhelming debt presses upon us and threatens to take away all our possessions, no relative can offer a complete solution. Yes, beloved, in such situations, only the Lord can help us. Then, like David, we too will be able to say:
“I sought the LORD, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.” (Psalm 34:4)
Seeking God and praying only when problems arise is not the right solution. It is essential that we love God at all times with a sincere heart. Running from one place of worship to another only when troubles come is not true love for Him. Rather, He desires that we love Him with a genuine heart, just as we show love to the members of our own family. When we do so, He will hear us and deliver us from all our fears.
Moreover, only when we love the Lord with perfect love can we live a holy life and overcome sin. As we grow in holiness, we become pleasing to Him, and He will take care of us without any lack. This is why David continues in today’s Psalm:
“O fear the LORD, you, His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want.” (Psalm 34:9)
Let us live a holy life, fearing the Lord. Then He will hear us and deliver us from all our fears.
