Never Condemned

[00:00:04] Hello and welcome to your quiet prayer. [00:00:08] This is a very special set apart time and for this quiet prayer as you simply calm your mind. Now take a nice deep breath, let your shoulders relax, Close your eyes like two petals of a flower meeting. [00:00:40] And let yourself just enter into the 34th Psalm. Now for a little while, I'm going to share it with you. [00:00:54] It begins. [00:00:56] I will bless the Lord at all times. [00:01:01] His praise shall continually be in my mouth. [00:01:07] Relax, rest, breathe deeply as I continue. [00:01:12] My soul shall make its boast in the Lord. [00:01:17] The humble shall hear of it and be glad. [00:01:21] Oh, magnify the Lord with me. [00:01:26] Yes, that's my invitation to you now that you and I magnify the Lord together by being still, by letting the world just fall away from you. Now you have nowhere to go, nothing to do. [00:01:43] Just be in the presence of the living God through His Word, and let us exalt his name together. [00:01:53] I sought the Lord and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears. [00:02:02] They looked upon him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed. [00:02:12] You are radiant when you look upon God, when you spend these moments in stillness with him. [00:02:20] It goes on, this poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him and delivered him out of all his troubles. [00:02:31] I invite you to see yourself now with all your troubles just falling away. [00:02:39] Because the angel of the Lord encamps around all those who fear him. And for the word fear, let's use the word love around all those who love him, and that angel delivers them. [00:02:53] Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good. [00:02:58] Blessed is the man, the woman who trusts in him. [00:03:03] Oh, fear the Lord, love him, you his saints. [00:03:07] There is no want to those who love him who fear him. It says, and it goes on in verse in Psalm 34. The young lions lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. [00:03:34] Yes, take a deep breath of his goodness goes on. Come, you children, listen to me. [00:03:42] I will teach you the fear of the Lord, who is the person who desires life and loves many days that he may see good. [00:03:56] Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. [00:04:04] Depart from evil and do good. [00:04:08] Seek peace and pursue it. [00:04:12] And that's what you're doing now. [00:04:15] Allow his peace to embrace you, for his eyes are on the righteous and his ears are open to your cry. [00:04:34] When you cry out to the Lord, he hears you and he delivers you out of all your troubles. [00:04:43] Verse 17. [00:04:46] The Lord is near to you when you have a broken heart, And he saves you with your humble seeking spirit. [00:05:06] Take A nice deep breath. [00:05:11] Sense the sweetness of God enveloping you in these moments right now. They set apart unique and holy moments. [00:05:25] For the Lord has said, many are the afflictions of the righteous. [00:05:35] And what does he do with those for you? [00:05:51] What does God do with the afflictions that you experience? [00:05:59] He delivers you out of them all. [00:06:07] And you can trust that you can trust him now in this quiet moment of peace. Right now, right now. [00:06:23] Stillness, Stillness overtakes you right now. [00:06:41] He holds you gently right now. [00:06:53] As he delivers you out of all your troubles. [00:07:04] God says, the evil shall slay the wicked. [00:07:09] Don't concern yourself. [00:07:11] Focus on Him. [00:07:18] For those who hate you go nowhere. [00:07:26] Any problems? They go nowhere when you trust him. [00:07:32] The final verse of Psalm 34. The Lord redeems the soul of his servants, of his loved ones, of his children. [00:07:44] And those who trust in him shall never be condemned. [00:07:53] Release yourself now from all self faults in this beautiful quiet time with him and His Word. [00:08:10] Remember the words. I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me out of all my fears. [00:08:21] That's where you are right now, dear. [00:08:27] Take another deep breath and breathe in the goodness of God and His deep, deep love for you. It. [00:09:13] Amen. [00:09:15] And Selah, the sweetness of the Lord remain with you all the rest of the day and the night as his angels guard you and deliver you. [00:09:36] As the heart of God says. [00:09:40] I'm here. [00:09:41] I'm always here. [00:09:44] I love you so. Until next time. [00:09:50] Come back and we'll have some more quiet prayer together. [00:09:58] This is Marie Chapion, your friend in quiet prayer.
