My God and My Country

A Study of Psalm Thirty Four

Verse Eleven

11 Come children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Brethren:

Herein above the psalmist David is saying to listen to the wisdom that has been imparted to him by our Creator. This is to say, proper reverence of the Lord. Included would be prayer, thanksgiving, and our works towards our fellow man.

Prayer, is our communication with Him. It is our quiet time wherein we give our reports, confess our sins, and make petition to Him. Additionally it during this time that we should seek counsel in His word, by studying it. Friends, read daily, and meditate.

Thanksgiving, can also be done during prayer time, in that we come with praise to His name, and humble ourselves with all humility, with a thankful heart for all that He provides for us.

God, loves when we act in His name in the helping of those less fortunate. Likewise, it is His desire that He receive the glory for all actions on His behalf.

“14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of mine heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord my strength, and my redeemer.” - Psalm 19:14 - That I may be obedient to you in all thoughts, words, and deeds. Such is proper reverence to our Lord.
