Psalm 27 -- A Worship Time This Morning

I worshipped as I read this chapter!  It’s hard to choose what to write about! 

“I ask only one thing from the Lord.  This is what I want:  Let me live in the Lord’s house all my life [eternity].  Let me see the Lord’s beauty…”  That’s what will happen when God calls me home!

I thought of my boys when I read verse 10, for it has already happened!  “If my father and mother leave me, the Lord will take me in.”  God sent me to get them for Him!

My commentary had several great things to say:

“The secret of David’s public confidence was his private obedience:  he took time to fellowship with the Lord and get directions from Him.  David knew that the most important part of his life was the part that only God could see, and this was one priority he would not negotiate… David took time to meditate and to contemplate the wonders of God’s grace.  He came away from his times of worship feeling the rock under his feet and seeing above and beyond the enemy to the victory God had prepared.”

“When David cried out, God answered him in his heart and said, ‘Seek My face.’”

“David believed that God’s goodness followed him and also anticipated him, that God stored up goodness to use when it was needed.  God’s goodness never ran out, for David could go into God’s presence and receive all he needed.  The key was faith in God.”

Father, thank You for this fresh reminder of Your love and watchcare over me and Your sufficiency to be everything I need.  Thank You for this worship moment.  You teach me here not to fear the circumstances around me, my potential failure, or my future, because You have conquered them all.  Thank You for being my God!

Your Brother In Christ,
