This document outlines the key aspects of a God-centered life according to Psalm 34. It identifies that a God-centered life involves constant praise of God, contagious praise that others will see, a continual pursuit of an intimate relationship with God through fear of the Lord. It also involves confident prayer, constant protection from God, consecrated practices to God, being crushed in spirit before God, contented patience, and a confident prospect of God. The document encourages living a God-centered life in order to receive God's protection, provision, and blessing.
