Psalms 34 (The Message Version)

1 I bless God every chance I get; my lungs expand with his praise.


-Do I bless the Lord every chance I get?






2 I live and breathe God;


if things aren't going well, hear this and be happy:


-Live and Breathe God...


-Be happy in Him














3 Join me in spreading the news;


together let's get the word out.


-Am I doing my part to get his word out?






4 God met me more than halfway,


he freed me from my anxious fears.


-HE FREES US FROM FEARS...FOREVER!!


-He has met me more than halfway...can I go the rest?






5 Look at Him; give him your warmest smile.


Never hide your feelings from Him.


-He can be my best friend if I let him...






6 When I was desperate, I called out,


and God got me out of a tight spot.


-He has the power to get me out of EVERY tight spot...no matter what or why or where


As long as I ask..He wont do anything I dont ask Him to..






7 God's angel sets up a circle


of protection around us while we pray.


-PRAY!!!!






8 Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see—


how good God is.


Blessed are you who run to him.


-He is soooo Good!! Open your eyes and see!! Our God is GRREAT!


-We will experience great things if we run to Him for help.






9 Worship God if you want the best;


worship opens doors to all his goodness.


-If you want good things from God just worship Him, it makes Him happy :))






10 Young lions on the prowl get hungry,


but God-seekers are full of God.


-If I seek God I will be so satisfied I won't need or want to seek anyone/thing else.






11 Come, children, listen closely;


I'll give you a lesson in God worship.


-What can I say to explain this except, "Shut Up andListen."






12 Who out there has a lust for life?


Can't wait each day to come upon beauty?






13 Guard your tongue from profanity,


and no more lying through your teeth.


-Don't Lie Guys, it makes God sad.






14 Turn your back on sin; do something good.


Embrace peace—don't let it get away!


-If you are always negative, you will never find peace.






15 God keeps an eye on his friends,


his ears pick up every moan and groan.


-God will always always always hear you. He's the maker of the universe and Creator of us all and HE CARES


-All I can think about is the song by Tenth Avenue North "Hold my Heart."






16 God won't put up with rebels;


he'll cull them from the pack.


-This speaks for itself,dont be a rebel.






17 Is anyone crying for help? God is listening,


ready to rescue you.


-God will rescue you if you need rescued..but sometimes youre stronger than you think.






18 If your heart is broken, you'll find God right there;


if you're kicked in the gut, he'll help you catch your breath.


-This is my favorite verse.


-even if your heart is broken God NEVER turns his back on you, ever


-The "kicked in the Gut" part cracks me up with the striking reality of it..






19 Disciples so often get into trouble;


still, God is there every time.


-Even when I do something bad, even if Im in DIRECT SIN God is there..watching me.






20 He's your bodyguard, shielding every bone;


not even a finger gets broken.


-I love thinking of God as a bodyguard, imagining Him in a black suit with black sunglasses standing between me and the world. :)






21 The wicked commit slow suicide;


they waste their lives hating the good.


-Are you wasting your life?






22 God pays for each slave's freedom;


no one who runs to him loses out.


-He died for EVERYONE! Ane He turns no one down! What a great God :)
