Psalm 27:4-10 That Will I Seek After

Psalm 27:4-10 (KJV)  One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.  5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.  6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.  7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.  8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.  9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.  10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. 

When we have the LORD with us, it dispels all servile fear. The psalmist assures his heart in the LORD – Psalm 27:1 (KJV)  A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 

There are many fearful things that life can bring but in the LORD, in trusting and worship, the psalmist finds sufficiency in the LORD’s protection.

In the most dire of circumstances, in the time of trouble, the LORD hides His people in His safety. Let His people that seek after Him for He never fails. Amen.
