Psalm 27

It only took me about 1 minute to read this psalm of David. Once again David was facing an enemy that sought to bring him down to ruin. And where was David's mind? In God's house. The tent of meeting and the ark of God's covenant with Israel. Surely part of his thoughts were at the scene of the battle, but the longings of his heart was not on conquest or the spoils after a victory. His desires could not be satisfied with earthly bounty. His passions where focused on the eternal promises of God. Like the one who would be born of his line centuries later, David set his sights on a heavenly Kingdom where perfect and eternal rest would be the reward for a life of faith in God.
