Psalm 27 {Hope}

I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD! (13-14) True hope not “getting hopes up” Waiting on the Lord not man Takes courage  

What is worship? {four facets from Psalm 27}

We’ve looked at confidence,the fear of man,vision,beauty, and the beginning of worship…glad you’re here with us today.] 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.

(Applied to Life) Psalm 27 {Confidence}

Yesterday’s post taught us three things about confidence from Psalm 27. I wanted to take this a quick step further by reminding us (you and me!) how to apply these truths to our life.  Remember, all our study of God’s Word is for naught unless we are doers of what we learn (James 1:22).  So […]

But what about a different kind of fear? In my opinion, it is not the fear of death or disease or bankruptcy or homelessness […]

Before even leaving the airport I stopped and ordered a coffee and the darling asked, “white or black?” The drive to the conference brought further reminders of the differences. […]
