Psalm 27:1 "A Psalm of David. 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?"
Psalm 27 is all about faith. Faith means we do not fear, faith means we are strong in our trust of the Lord, faith means we will not be afraid. As we continue in our daily reading of Psalm 27 it should be revealing things in us that need to be cleansed so as to be drawn into God's perfect will and into His strength.
1 Samuel 13:14 "But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you have not kept the LORD's command."
Everything that king Saul was not, king David was and that is why God could call him 'man after God's own heart.' David was not an angel, he failed in many ways, perhaps in some we have not even failed in, but after he returned to the Lord in repentance he was cleansed of all unrighteousness and brought back to a place of new mercies.
Psalm 30:5 "For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."
When we go to bed at night in repentance we wake in the morning to new mercies. God is faithful, He loves us and wants to make all things new in our lives day by day. So, every morning He gives us a fresh beginning. All He asks is that like David we recognize where we went astray and return to His light and His strength, because in the Lord there is forgiveness, safety, love and healing.
David experienced the covenant God through his trials, battles, successes, failures and worship. He understood how the LORD was his shepherd and took good care of him as a helpless little lamb so he had faith not fear.
Make God your light today because He is bigger than anything Satan can throw at us. David said The LORD is my light. Light dispels darkness so that the works of darkness cannot hide in dark corners of our lives because the light of Messiah Yeshua pierces and scatters all darkness.
Yours in Messiah Yeshua our Lord, our God, our soon coming King
Rabbi Jack & Ellen
