Some theologians believe Psalm 27 was written in 2 parts. Verses 1-6 when life was good and David felt God was answering His prayers. Verses 7-12 when David felt God was hiding from Him and life had become difficult. And then, verses 13-14 when he put the 2 parts together. Just like David, we too have good days and bad days - but when we experience the bad days or longer periods of bad days, we must remember the times we have felt his faithfulness. Just as David remembered in Psalm 27:14 - we must wait for the Lord, because one day he will give us help. If we believe this, it will make us strong.
In Psalm 28 we hear David crying out for no other help but for God to hear him and answer. Messiah was a term that was used to describe the King in that day and then later on, it meant God's special servant and last of all, JESUS. In verses 1-5 we hear David's prayer for help and continuing in verses 6-9 we see the praise and thanks to God for His answer to prayer and help.
Linda doesn't like storms at all, but I love a night that is full of lightning, thunder and pouring rain. In Psalm 29 a large storm is happening and David not only sees the storm that is actually happening in his presence, but he sees and is awestruck at God's power and majesty. The lightening, thunder, rain and winds.
We need to remember that God has our life, secure in Him. And he is the same God that displays His power and glory all around. So next time you're in a storm - stop and see God.
