Psalm 34:19-20 - Many are the Afflictions of the Righteous

What this episode covers

In many Christian circles, the ‘good news’ is presented along the lines of: “Christ suffered so that we don’t have to.” Is that true? Should we expect to see less suffering in this life when we turn to the Lord? Starting with this passage from David, we consider examples throughout the Scriptures of righteous people who suffered. However, if we pursue righteousness, we can be encouraged that the Lord will hear us, protect us, and deliver us in the end.
