One Thing
If you could ask anything of the Lord what would you ask for?
Would you ask for physical healing?
Would you ask for salvation for a loved one?
Would you ask for financial blessing?
There are stories throughout scripture of people asking for something-
Queen Esther
King Herod
Then there is the story of King Solomon - what do you want?
We are going to look at a Psalm of David- this Psalm is a Psalm of Confidence
Psalms of Confidence describe the author’s trust and faith in God, typically with a central image or theme.
Psalm 23 is the primary example, where David compares God to his shepherd.
In Psalm 27 the central image is
the 4 friends
Part 1 (vers.
1–6) is altogether joyous and jubilant.
It records, as has been said, “the triumph of a warrior’s faith.”
Part 2 (vers.
7–14) is sad and plaintive.
It pleads for mercy and forgiveness (vers.
8–10).
It complains of desertion (ver.
10), calumny (ver.
12), and imminent danger (vers.
11, 12), It still, indeed, maintains hope, but the hope has only just been saved from sinking into despair by an effort of faith (ver.
13), and a determination to “wait” and see what the end will be (ver.
14).
It is thought to “express the sorrows of a martyr to the religious persecutions at the close of the monarchy” (Four Friends, p. 68
What Drove David- what was the thing he lacked as he observed his life he knew that he was barred access from the house of the Lord to him it was an area that he knew he wanted to be.
