COMFORT from affliction

 

Psalm 34:22

King James Version

22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: 

and none of them that trust in him 

shall be desolate.


What does affliction mean?

Who gives us comfort?

Where can we find hope from?

Who can we turn to?

First, the meaning of "affliction".

Merriam-Webster defines it as "great suffering".

That, in itself, says a lot.

Let these Psalm 34 verses give comfort to all of us:


Psalm 34:4

King James Version

4 I sought the Lord, 

and he heard me, 

and delivered me from all my fears.


Psalm 34:6

King James Version

6 This poor man cried, 

and the Lord heard him, 

and saved him out of all his troubles.


Psalm 34:7

King James Version

7 The angel of the Lord 

encampeth round about them that fear him, 

and delivereth them.


Psalm 34:15

King James Version

15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, 

and his ears are open unto their cry.


Psalm 34:17

King James Version

17 The righteous cry, 

and the Lord heareth, 

and delivereth them 

out of all their troubles.


Psalm 34:19

King James Version

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: 

but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
