Psalm 27

I loved sharing things that I come across in the blogs I read. I star the ones that most affect me so that I can share them here from time to time.  I will not be near internet access for the next couple of days, so I am going to post some of those things here over the next several days.  I pray that they are as much of a blessing and encouragement to you as they are to me.

Psalm 27

from Christ is deeper still by Ray Ortlund

The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear? Psalm 27:1

"One of the best ways to dispel doubts and fears is to summon to our aid the very strongest doctrines and highest truths of religion. Weak doctrines will not be a match for powerful temptations.

No confidence is so well placed as confidence in God, no joy is like that which he gives, no deliverances are so manifestly glorious as those he works, life is never so sweet as when felt to be the renewed gift of God.

Courage is both a duty of man and a gift of God. We should sharply reprove ourselves for all disheartening timidity. . . . We must be heroic, or we must perish."

W. S. Plumer, The Psalms, page 359.
