Deeper Into Psalm 27:1-6

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?
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.

Points to Ponder:
Did you know that, just like David, you can cry out to God? In your moments of distress, insecurities or desperate loneliness you can be confident that the LORD hears you and He will lift you up; You can have the great assurance that your Father - just as He was with David - will be your light and your salvation!!

Application:
No matter what the stronghold is or appears to be in your life, choose today to confidently and boldly seek after, to ask of the LORD. Sing to Him the song that your heart longs to sing, and sing it like no one is watching but Him!! I dare you!!
