Psalm 27:1-14 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?… I. SPRINGS FROM PERSONAL FAITH IN GOD. 1. Intelligent. 2. Appropriating. 3. Soul-saving. II. STRENGTHENED BY THE REMEMBRANCE OF PAST DELIVERANCES. Confidence comes of experience. The remedy we have proved we readily try again. The friend we have found faithful we trust to death. The commander under whom we have conquered we follow bravely to other fields. So should we act as to God. III. SUFFICIENT FOR THE GREATEST EMERGENCIES. What terror had Ahab for Micaiah, the man who had seen God? (1 Kings 22:19). What cared Elisha for "the horses and chariots" at Dothan, whose eyes beheld the angels of God ranged in his defence? (2 Kings 6:15). "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31). (W. Forsyth, M. A.) Parallel Verses 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? |
