Psa 27:1 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?
Psa 27:2 When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.
Psa 27:3 Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.
Psa 27:4 One thing have I asked 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 gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple.
Psa 27:5 For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock.
Psa 27:6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the LORD.
Psa 27:7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me!
Psa 27:8 You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, LORD, do I seek.”
Psa 27:9 Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my salvation!
Psa 27:10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the LORD will take me in.
Psa 27:11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
Psa 27:12 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence.
Psa 27:13 I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!
Psa 27:14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!
LORD, I pray that you would help us to ever be turning to you in prayer and seeking your face for the comfort and the joy of your presence.
Let it be to us food and drink.
Sustain us with your Salvation and Love, in the Name of Jesus.

Lord, we come before Thee now,
At Thy feet we humbly bow;
Oh, do not our suit disdain!
Shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain?
Lord, on Thee our souls depend;
In compassion now descend,
Fill our hearts with Thy rich grace,
Tune our lips to sing Thy praise.
In Thine own appointed way
Now we seek Thee, here we stay.
Lord, we know not how to go
Till a blessing Thou bestow.
Send some message from Thy Word
That may joy and peace afford;
Let Thy Spirit now impart
Full salvation to each heart.
Comfort those who weep and mourn,
Let the time of joy return;
Those that are cast down lift up,
Make them strong in faith and hope.
Grant that all may seek and find
Thee a gracious God and kind.
Heal the sick, the captive free;
Let us all rejoice in Thee.
Ha! How did you know this is one of the hymns I tend to wander around the house singing?

Hello, brothers and sisters! Sorry I haven’t been back much, especially for Easter greetings and praise. But... I’m here now.
Psalm 27 is “my” psalm, the one I carry with me, and I just said it at lunchtime. Phrase by phrase, there is much depth here. If I had to choose one verse, it would be 11: “Teach me Thy way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my foes.” Or, wait, maybe 4....:)
Instead of reading on FR until bedtime last night, I turned off the computer and read the Bible. Psalm 25 is quite wonderful, too, as are all. Praise the Lord!
I encourage every one of you in the way of the Lord and may you be strengthened by the Light of Christ that came into the world upon his Resurrection. May His Light spread powerfully throughout the People.
