Psalm 34:1 says: “I will bless the Lord at ALL times.” David, having just come out of a “close call” with Abimelech was a living example of this. He praised God in good times and bad – “all times.” We are to do the same. But we need to remember that the Psalm says “ALL” times!
Someone said recently that whenever people get good news (no cancer, a healing, test was negative, etc.) that they often respond by saying “God is good!” But he pointed out that “God is good” even when those things do NOT go how we’d like! We are to bless the Lord (saying He is “good” is blessing Him!) at ALL times: good news or bad!
That is what Job did. Even when he had lost virtually everything he had, his response was: “Blessed be the name of the Lord.” Job lived out Psalm 34:1, and blessed the Lord at ALL times. May we be found doing the same!
