Psalm 28:9 “Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.” Just as you and I talk to our Heavenly Father, so David talked to God. David never questioned the authority and power, yet the tenderness and love traits of His and our Almighty God. David knew all his blessings and even his kingship were gifts. Did David ever abuse his authority–yes. Do you and I at times not realize the gifts we have are freely given us by our Savior—yes, unfortunately. Praise God as He carries us in His arms as His dearly loved children.

Psalm 28:8 “The Lord is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.” To be brave, to have a courageous mentality, to be secure in life, to have peace and comfort in our faith are all a result of our God and His love for each of us. Is there anything more valuable? Education, assets or anything of this world pales in comparison. Thank God continually for the wonderful security He provides.

Psalm 28:7 “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.” David helps each of us as we define our attitude toward our God: strength, shield, trust, help, joy, praise. When you and I combine all of these qualities we have a faithful Christian worshiping a faithful God. We pray that God always gives us the solid strength of faith to never falter in weakness and to always be strong and steadfast.

Psalm 27:13 ” I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” God is good. God knows what is best. When man’s sinfulness erupts he often blames God and therefore accuses God for the bad that happens in this world. But, how can God be blamed for man’s imperfections? God is love. God is perfect. All that is good is from God. Thank you, God. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 27:5 “For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.” Whether you or I realize it or not, every faithful believer will experience two arenas of life–good times and not so good times. At all times we are surrounded by the love and protection of our Heavenly Father. The magnificence of God is our constant protection and security. We have nothing to fear—how blessed we are.

Psalm 27:11a “Teach me your way, Lord; lead me in a straight path…” The greatest teacher is our Savior. The greatest way to live is totally based on His words. We are wise when we hear, learn and then apply all our Savior has to teach. Gaining knowledge is fine–gaining wisdom is supreme.

Psalm 27:4 “One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my Iife, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.” Pursuing earthly gain and ignoring a close relationship with our God is as foolish as foolish gets. Knowing the true God and enjoying His presence is the most wonderful experience one can cherish. Nothing comes close to the value found in the love relationship offered by God to you and me and then in return our love relationship to Him. We enjoy worshiping Him as that relationship will last through all eternity.

Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?’ An unfortunate emotion of man is fear. Why? Because each of us relies on our own strengths and so easily forgets where our strength really lies. We seem to think our strength comes from our macho man front. Whereas our strength really comes from our knees resting on the ground. Our strength comes from our Creator, never from the created. If it’s necessary–get a knee replacement.

Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? What kind of faith do I have? 1. Is it a mile wide and an inch deep–therefore, trying to please everyone, or 2. Is it an inch wide and a mile deep –therefore, being oblivious to what is happening around me, or 3. Is it a mile wide and a mile deep–therefore, while seeing what is happening in the world, avoiding the temptations prevalent in the world while being wise in serving my Savior and spreading His truths to those I come in contact with and supporting those who serve the same purpose throughout the world? What kind of faith do I have?

Psalm 25:21 “May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, Lord, is in you.” Honesty, strong moral principles and walking a path of faith are qualities which every Christian tries their best to attain and maintain. Why? Because every move you and I make involves serving our Savior. Is that thought too idealistic and not realistic? For every loved and adopted child of God, service and honor to our God is an enjoyable perpetual. What an honor it is to serve Him bravely with wisdom.

Psalm 25:15 “My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare.” A snare is a trap which is very difficult, if not impossible, to be released from. Life on earth can also be a snare with its many temptations which can ruin a person’s relationship with their Savior. To avoid falling for the “snare” or temptation, one must always concentrate on following the wisdom of God. Avoid the snare and walk free.

Psalm 25:7 “Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, Lord are good.” You and I worship a wonderful God. We couldn’t be more blessed than to have the privilege of being able to communicate with–imagine–God! And to know He listens. Even though life is full of heartache and we lack an understanding as to “why”, we enjoy the peace and comfort of knowing God is always faithfully and lovingly at our side.
