Psalm 34
Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left.
1 [a] I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
2 My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3 Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.
8 Taste and see that the LORD is good;blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
9 Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing.
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
11 Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16 the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the

Today is a Saturday, even as I sit here and look at the responsiblities which I have in the work place I have a little fear in me. I fear that I might not keep up with this responsibility given to me.
My collegue have just resigned yesterday, though he gave two months notice before yesterday, I still find it hard that he has chose to resigned. 80% of his responsibility has been added on me and I find it hard to cope with it all. The Courts are speedying their cases , which restricts me from having more time in producing a better getting up.
Though with such "little" fear in me.It makes me all the more I want to seek His face.
" 4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. "
5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. "
As an old song says:
In his presence, In his presence, there is peace
In his presence, In his presence, there is joy
I will linger I will stay in His presence day by day
Till' His likeness will be seen in me.
Thank You for this 'little' fear I'm facing now Lord for it makes me seeks your face more and more. I shall Turst and keep the fear of the Lord.
A tough adjustment in work is going to take place, I pray that I will be able to cope with this tough adjustment. Two lawyers have resigned in the spam of two years with no new lawyers being part of the team and with so much work coming in too. Sometimes I wonder why are these things happening.
The Lord has delivered and overcome every obstacle I have faced. Surely He will do it again =)
I shall trust in you Lord and fear only you.
Amen.
