—Psalm 27:1-6
by: Paula Davis.
David seems to be giving a mixed message in this passage. He begins by proclaiming his faith in God and exalting the Lord’s protection then seems to become impatient with God, uncertain of whether God is hearing him or will provide the very salvation extolled in the beginning of the passage. We can be confident that God hears us, always, and that he will always answer us. Sometimes his answer is, “wait,” which we may interpret as God turning a deaf ear to our needs. Be assured that he always hears and will meet every need in his time.
