OUR LORD REMOVES OUR FEAR AND SHAME

The psalmist, in Psalm 34 verses 3 - 5, encourages us to join him in glorifying and exalting the Lord. The passage reads like this;

Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together. 

I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

The psalmist expounds on his own experience where he searched for God and God answered him and took away his fears. 

A description is given of those who turn to God in trust; they radiate light and their faces beam because they are never covered in shame.

This thought is mirrored in Philippians 2 verse 15 where the children of God who trust in Him, have the appearance of lights in a dark world . The text reads this way.

so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,

Let us bless the Lord whose light shines in us to make us into lights for the people of the world.

Amen.
