“The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.” - Psalm 34:19 (NASB)
Have you ever been so troubled or sorrowful that you leaned on the well know spiritual by Mahalia Jackson? “Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Nobody knows but He knows my sorrow. … Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Well, no, nobody knows but Jesus.” Perhaps, or not, we know these words well but we certainly have a promise today from a song by David which should give us comfort when we are deep in trouble. As we experience many troubles, we are promised delivery from them all by the Lord. And if the trouble threatens our bodies, we can know that the Lord will protect us. Protection of all our bones is a means of saying He keeps our physical well-being. Our bones are the structure of our bodies and our bodies might well be threatened by troubles from time to time. Seeking God when we need His help will bring us needed deliverance from afflictions of many kind. Every verse in this Psalm underscores how God cares for His own when the take refuge in Him.
