Psalm 34:19, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.”

 

There are two promises from God here. First, the righteous will endure many afflictions. Not maybe the righteous will be afflicted a little bit on the rare occasion. No. The afflictions of the righteous are many. BUT the Lord delivers the righteous from every one of them. Praise Him for the second promise! There could be no greater comfort than this. Expect many troubles. Trust God for deliverance from all of them. Those who trust in the Lord will be battered, but not a bone will be broken (v. 20). The Lord comes through every time.
