These three Psalms could be a highlight reel for God's promises of deliverance and protection. I highlight in red in my Bible all the verses I favor. I could highlight all three chapters. It is impossible to figure out what NOT to write about in a short devotional. The last verse of chapter thirty-five seems to sum it all up:
Psalms 35:28 - And my tongue shall declare Your righteousness and Your praise all day long.
>br />If you have ever been in the deep pain and affliction written about in chapter 33 or in the persecution of chapter 34 or the broken relationship(s) with someone you cared about and love in 34, then and only then can you actually appreciate 35:28. It is only have great hardship and great distress that we find such praise in God's deliverance. We can't rejoice in deliverance until we first find ourselves needing it and finding no other source to get it (33:16 & 17). God our Savior has ransomed me!! When you realize that and ONLY after you have realized that do you find the breath and perspective to shout His righteousness and praise all day long. Not just on Sunday morning, but every day. Take a moment to remember what we have been ransomed from ... the slavery of sin and despair ... and, shout for joy in front of all those you see. God has declared us perfect when we weren't; He has set us free when we weren't; He has healed our broken hearts when we were sick and destitute. Our only response is PRAISE!
My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.
