I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Psalm 34:1
God promises great blessings to his people but many of these blessings require active participation.
He will
set us free from our fears (Psalm 34:4),
deliver us from trouble (Psalm 34:6),
guard and defend us (Psalm 34:7),
show us goodness (Psalm 34:8),
supply our needs (Psalm 34:9),
listen when we call to him (Psalm 34:15),
and redeem us (Psalm 34:22),
but we must do our part.
We can
appropriate his blessings when we seek him (Psalm 34:4, 10);
cry out to him (Psalm 34:6, 17);
trust him (Psalm 34:8);
fear him (Psalm 34:9);
refrain from lying (Psalm 34:13);
turn from evil, do good, and search for peace (Psalm 34:14);
are brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18);
and serve him (Psalm 34:22).”
Its conditional. Some blessings come with a price and in order to receive it we have to be willing to go through in order to get to.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
