Psalm 27
salm 27
Of David.
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?
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked advance against me
to devour[a] me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.

3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
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 life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
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.

6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.

7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, Lord;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.

13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.

All of these verses are beautiful and purposeful, but the two that stand out to me the most happen to be the first verse and the last verse. "The Lord is the stronghold of my life- of whom shall I be afraid?" This verse is so much easier to type than to grasp at times like these. I even noticed that in my car today, instead of praying or singing worship songs, I went ahead and played songs that didn't have anything to do with God. Why was turning to these songs my first reaction in this time? I can get so scared that I react in ways in which I am unsure of what to do.
But I already knew what I was supposed to do- turn to God. Not fear. Have hope, and ask God to heal my mother completely. Have faith, and trust in God. Not be afraid. I don't need to be when the Lord is ON OUR SIDE. With things like cancer, and any other kind of uncontrollable circumstance: it is easy to wonder what God is doing... but the truth is... He is ALWAYS on our side. Even when we are completely denying Him, He still is CRAZYYY about us and wants us SO BADLY. We have nothing to fear, He is ALWAYS on our side!!
And the last verse. "Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." God strengthens our family, as we take heart and wait for the Lord. I've always LOVED the term "Take heart". It is so comforting to me. I just feel rest just thinking about the term. I will wait on the Lord, for He knows what is best for my family. I will Love Him, and I will take Heart in what You have for us Lord.
