Psalm 27
A
Song of Hope & Trust
In Psalm 27, the psalmist is surrounded by
his enemies. We are surrounded today with acts of impersonal, senseless
violence, and enemies both known and unknown: ISIS; home-grown terrorists; and
random shootings. These acts create anxiety, distrust, and hopelessness. I have
experienced times of worry and fear–“What
if..? What should I do?” Such fears are debilitating and exhausting, but change
nothing. Through faith I began to understand the words “In God We Trust.” God’s
faithfulness and love for us are steadfast. He is “our refuge and our strength.”
We can take action by praying - praying for guidance, security, and for a
deeper relationship with God.
The Lord is my light and my salvation
whom shall I fear (27:1)
The Lord is the stronghold of my
life
of whom shall I be afraid?
