Last time we looked at the list in Psalm 27 of fearsome problems arising against God’s people. Today we Read between the troubles to see the ways we need to rely on the LORD and how he is working.
Our attitude needs to be:
- My heart shall not fear (verse 3)
- I will be confident (3)
- Gaze upon the beauty of the LORD (4)
- Inquire in His temple (4)
- Offer sacrifices with shouts of joy (6)
- Sing and make melody to the LORD (6)
- Seek God’s face (8)
- Believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD (13)
- Wait for the LORD (14)
- Be strong and courageous (14)
God will work for us using these means:
- He is my light and my salvation (1)
- He is the stronghold of my life (1)
- He makes my adversaries stumble and fall (2)
- He will hide me in his shelter (5)
- He will conceal me under the cover of his tent (5)
- He will lift me high upon a rock (5)
- He will take me in (10)
- He will teach me his ways (11)
These lists let us know we need not fear when God is on our side.
