Today I'm looking at Psalm 27
This is one of the Psalms of David.
This Psalm falls into five parts:
V. 1
Declaration
V. 2-3
Confidence
V. 4-6
Praise
V. 7-12
Teaching
V. 13-14
Hope
Declaration.
We need to physically say these words.
We need to speak forth the truth, to truly grasp that we need not be afraid
He is our Light
and
He is our Salvation
and
He is our Stronghold
Confidence.
The speaking out as in the last two verses and the knowledge that there is no need to be afraid leads on to being confident about what we know God has promised - this makes me think of Psalm 34
He has promised that He is on our side.
Praise.
The result of seeking God, wanting to live in His ways and being in His Shelter can only lead to us giving Him all the praise and thanksgiving we can.
Teaching.
Crying out to God, seeking His face and accepting His gracious help leads us to listen and pay attention to Him to learn what is the good and acceptable will of God (Romans 12:2)
All because we are not leaning to the way of others or to our natural instincts but we are being focused on His way.
Hope.
Knowing God's promises, having gained confidence in knowing God's will and His way and being prepared to wait on Him has all come to the point where we know we have hope for now and for the future.
