Psalm 27

By: Robert A. Searles

The LORD GOD almighty is the solid rock of defense from all enemies for all nations and peoples who truly trust and obey him.  He is the solid rock of the ages, He is the answer and solution, to all the problems in the middle east and other regions around the globe.  Why don't we wise up,and put the ten commandment and prayer back in our schools, hire teachers and administrators, that will teach truth and righteousness instead of the garbage that is now being forced on our children in some of our school systems, and why don't we put preachers in the pulpits of our churches, being filled to overflowing with the Holy Spirit, having the guts and courage to tell it like it is, as did the preachers of a by gone day and founders of our great nation.

" 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 the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.  One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.  Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord. Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me.  My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, Lord, I will seek. Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, God my Savior.  Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.  Teach me your way, Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.  Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations. I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
