RE: Psalm 27
There are few verses in all of poetry that move my heart so
much as, “Though my father and mother
forsake me, the LORD will receive me” (27:10). There were a great many times, particularly
in high school, when I could not bring myself to believe that God was working
things out for my good as he’d promised to do (Rom 8:28). At those times this chapter has been reinforcement
for God’s many other promises. On any
given day God may not be obviously in control, on any given day we may find
ourselves poor, sick, or crippled with anxiety.
On these days Psalm
27 takes up the cry of our breaking hearts: begging God to show his
goodness (17:9), and refusing to despair
until he does (27:13-14).
