Psalm 27

This Psalm stuck out to me first because of the confidence in which David is writing the psalm. The sheer faith and trust that echos through the psalm is staggering! The Psalm gave me insight onto the way the Israelites viewed God and the afterlife. They did not know exactly what would happen or where they were going but they knew that God would provide for them just as he always had. This is shown in part in the Psalm as well. The best part about this song is the amazing repetition of God's constant deliverance. To me it speaks so highly of Jesus. Now that we are in Jesus we are free. No matter what happens, what goes on, whatever life throws at us we have an answer, and that answer is Jesus. I think corporately that this psalm would be great to be read in a call and response type of setting. This would also be good to start a worship service that focuses on the goodness and steadfastness of God. A secular person would probably receive this Psalm with a lot of skepticism. The cross is foolishness to those who are perishing and this Psalm is probably foolish to them as well. This Psalm has made me want to have a complete love and trust for God. To be able to look at any situation and challenge and have confidence, to have no fear, because I know who God is and what he has promised me.
