There have been many other circumstances where I’m sure you and I have been falsely accused, from smaller things to bigger things. The Bible suggests seeking God for safety, support, and saving. Seek conversations to reconcile the situation, to take action to make the wrong right. However, with some false accusations, God may not avenge it in the way we may think.

God the Father shows up for you and me every single day. The saving blood of Christ rescues us from the grips of sin and death. In a broken world, even though we don’t deserve it, our Father rescues us every time. Just like David in Psalm 34, we must rejoice and praise, reminding ourselves of what God has done for us on a daily basis.

David’s response to God’s goodness was worship. What an example he has set for us to follow. So, when you’re tempted to grab your phone first thing in the morning, check social media, or get caught up in the busyness of your day, will you pause for a moment to give God what He so deserves?

Unconfessed sins block the human heart from feeling God's forgiveness! One of the healthiest heart choices you can make is to confess your failures to God and accept His forgiveness for them.

When we feel abandoned by those we love and trust, and we feel utterly alone in this world, we, too, like David, and like Jesus, have a God to whom we can turn who will never leave nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). He is a faithful God.

Like David, we feel like we’ll never be shaken! It’s easy to become overconfident. Only to find that everything we idolize can crumble in an instant! It’s in the pit that lament becomes our cry! But when we seek the kingdom of God above anything else, no matter what we face, we’ll be able to dance.

If you’re in need of hearing God’s thunderous voice in your life today in the form of clarity on what to do next, relief from a sickness, or simply being reminded of your immeasurable worth, try reading Psalm 29 slowly and in a different translation than you usually do.

Our God is bringing redemption to all things. So we praise Him because He is good. We praise Him to remind our hearts that no earthly matter will change eternal truth. We praise Him to nudge our hurting hearts to look up, to look at Him.

Lord, help us to not live in fear, but to rest in knowing that our hope is in You. And in a world that seems to keep letting us down, may we know in our hearts that You never will. Our strength is in You. Our Peace is in You. Our confidence is in You, Lord. In the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.

What do you do when your reputation has been unfairly damaged by false accusation… when people are saying things about you that just aren't true? In Psalm 26, David teaches us five principles for peace in persecution.
