Portrait of a Good Man
Homilist
Psalm 34:6-7
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.…


I. As Divinely AFFECTED. "They that fear him." The good man is one that fears God.

II. As Divinely GUARDED.

1. Individually. God regards individuals, as well as nations, worlds, and systems.

2. Completely Guards the whole man, body, soul, and spirit.

3. Eternally. Through time, in death, for ever, "He encampeth round about him."

III. As Divinely DELIVERED. "And delivereth them."

1. From physical evils. Infirmities, diseases, death.

2. From intellectual evils. Errors, prejudices, ignorance.

3. From social evils. The bereavements of death, the disappointments of hypo-critic friendships.

4. From spiritual evils. Impurity of heart, remorse of conscience, conflict of soul.
