Psalm 27
Some time ago, the Holy Spirit began prompting me to study Psalm 27. The more I read it and asked questions about it, the more God started to reveal to me. It’s so like God—just when you think you understand a scripture, He invites you to look deeper, to study the meaning of words, and suddenly He brings fresh revelation.
That’s exactly what happened to me as I studied Psalm 27. It has now become part of my daily routine; I begin each morning by reading this Psalm. Since I started doing this, God led me to a powerful message by Myles Munroe titled Starting Your Morning with Psalm 27. It has truly blessed me!
I remember reading Psalm 27 often when I was younger, not realizing how much it was shaping me at the time. For some reason, I stopped. But now I’m so grateful that God has brought me back to it. I can see how He has been working change in my heart through this passage. I’ve included Psalm 27 here. My prayer is that as you read it, God will minister to your heart and give you a new revelation, just as He has for me.
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold[a] of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident. One thing have I asked 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 gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.
For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord.
Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me! You have said, “Seek[d] my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, Lord, do I seek.” Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my salvation! For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in.
Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies. Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence. I believe that I shall look[f] upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!
