Taste and see that the Lord is good;
    blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
Fear the Lord, you his holy people,
    for those who fear him lack nothing.
The lions may grow weak and hungry,
    but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
Come, my children, listen to me;
    I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Whoever of you loves life
    and desires to see many good days,
keep your tongue from evil
    and your lips from telling lies.
Turn from evil and do good;
    seek peace and pursue it.

Psalm 34:8-14

I doubt that I need to elaborate too much on this batch of verses from Psalm 34. Certainly, if you’ve read the previous two posts from this Psalm, you will recognize exactly what’s going on here.

A man or woman who seeks the Lord will be richly blessed; a man or woman who fears the Lord will be richly blessed. Everything else may fail, even nature may fail, but the one who is in God’s will is blessed, and what does “blessed” mean?

Joy, joyous, happy.

How do you fear the Lord? Speak no evil, tell no lies, do what is good and pursue peace.

So, have a joyous Monday; you know what to do today, this week, and in all of the weeks to come.

Blessings coming your way!
