Wait on the Lord (Psalm 27)
In spite of the circumstances of life, the psalmist would patiently, determinedly, and confidently wait on the Lord.
- Confidence (v1-3) – His trust would be in God and thus he would not fear man (Rom. 8:31; Heb. 13:5-6).
- Desire (v4) – His constant desire would be always to dwell in the house of the Lord where he could behold the beauty of His character and learn from Him (Ps. 23:6; 119:105). We too should have this singular desire that causes us to seek after God (Phil. 3:13; Luke 10:42; Mark 10:21; Matt. 5:6, 6:33; 2 Tim. 2:15, 3:16-17; 1 Jn 1:5-7; 2 Pet. 1:3-11).
- Security (v5-10) – His confidence is not misplaced, for as he seeks after God, he has the benefit of security and protec-tion (Acts 17:27; James 4:6-10; 1 Pet. 3:12, 5:6-10; John 10:27-30; Heb. 4:16).
- Patience (v11-14) – In his confidence, desire, and security, the psalmist will continue seeking and waiting on God. He knows the Lord will lead in in the right paths (Ps. 23:3 25:3-5; Ex. 14:13; Isa. 40:31; Jn 8:12, 14:6; Rom. 1:16; 2 Thess. 3:3-4, 13; Matt. 6:13; 1 Tim. 4:10, 6:17; James 1:17).
