As you point out, Pastor Mike, today's passage is much deeper than most people think. It is a wonderful verse to take the time to ponder. Let us go to a quiet place with this verse, and invite our hearts and minds to reflect upon the deep meaning that the Holy Spirit wants us to learn. Thank you for giving us a nudge to do just that.

We try to also use the "presence gauge" of Jesus Himself: "Would I do this thing if Jesus was visibly sitting right next to me?" His Spirit is, after all, right here inside of us believers. Another challenging gauge that helps us is: "Would I want to be doing this, if Jesus came back at this very moment to take us to Heaven?" We miss Hawaii and send everyone our aloha from Virginia

Psalm 27:1-14 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.It is not too often that you find something repeated twice within the same verse. Twice in verse 14 do we read the phrase, wait on the Lord, “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.” David had good reason to Wait on the LORD. All throughout our chapter here we see of David’s full confidence in God. David writes…
- The LORD is my light and my salvation
- the LORD is the strength of my life
- even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell
- Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident
- For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion
- he shall set me up upon a rock
- thou hast been my help
- When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up
I believe it was these phrases that caused David to be able to put his full confidence that he could indeed Wait on the LORD. The Bible also says in Romans 2:11, “For there is no respect of persons with God.” The same thing God was to David, He will also be to you. You too can claim David’s words, “The LORD is my light and my salvation, the LORD is the strength of my life, For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion, he shall set me up upon a rock.” Make these personal and these too can be yours to claim. I believe when you do you too can proclaim with full confidence Wait on the LORD.
Love you all!!!
Pastor Mike
