Psalm 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?


The word fear means to exult to elevate as primary focus and attention.So to fear is to exult and put in first place of precedence and priority.The Lord Our God is who we exult and Praise.

2 When the wicked advance against me
to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall. 


To stumble is to speak and act wrong,so it is our enemies who speak or act wrong possibly against us but when this happens we do not need to fear it.We do not give it place in our life we don't believe it because we know the truth and what we put our focus on during times when that happens is direct our mind thinking and focus to what God's word says.We have victory through Christ.No weapon formed against us will prosper.We fear and EXULT AND PRAISE GOD.We put Jesus at the center of our life and exult Him to primary place through our praise.That is the solution when we go through difficulty or personal attack.

3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;


Remember Peter could walk on water when he had his focus on what the Lord had called him to do but when he began to focus the circumstances he sank.So this scripture shows us that when enemies besiege us we don't focus on who or what is against us we are to focus on Who is for us!Jesus is for us and will deliver us from evil so we can have confidence in that.

though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.

4 One thing I ask from the LORD,
this only do I seek:


When we seek we shall find...To seek is to aim at or attempt so we are to aim direct our ability to hitting a target to live according to God's law To attempt To try to put forth effort to work at living out what God wants for our lives.

that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.

6 Then my head will be exalted 

My head is My authourity and Our Authourity comes through Jesus who is Exulted and establishes us.

   above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.

7 Hear my voice when I call, LORD;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, LORD, I will seek.

We are to actively look and direct our attention to the Lord Jesus.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, LORD;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.

13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living
.
14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.




We just have to be patient-to continue each day to be strong and take to aquire obtain join in heart the mind will and emotions of how Jesus has called us to live and when we do by living out the choices based on right thinking and decision making we have the consequential blessings as a result amen!
