Personal Faith

 (ID: 0560)

Just as David experienced trouble as he was fleeing from King Saul, so each of us faces difficulties—none more significant than our own sinful hearts. Thankfully, though, God stands nearer than we think, willing and able to rescue us from life’s pressures. In this message, Alistair Begg encourages us to call upon the Lord to rescue us so that we, like David, can “taste and see that the Lord is good.”


Taste and See That the Lord Is Good

1 Of David, when he nchanged his behavior before oAbimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away.

1I will bless the Lord pat all times;

his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2My soul qmakes its boast in the Lord;

let the humble hear and rbe glad.

3Oh, smagnify the Lord with me,

and let us exalt his name together!

4I tsought the Lord, and he answered me

and delivered me from all my fears.

5Those who look to him are uradiant,

and their faces shall never be ashamed.

6vThis poor man cried, and the Lord heard him

and wsaved him out of all his troubles.

7xThe angel of the Lord yencamps

around those who fear him, and delivers them.

8Oh, ztaste and see that athe Lord is good!

bBlessed is the man who takes refuge in him!

9Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,

for those who fear him have no lack!

10cThe young lions suffer want and hunger;

but those who dseek the Lord lack no good thing.
