Verse 14 - Rest
We're headed toward eternal rest. We don't have to be so tired when we get there. ...
Keep ReadingIt's good to think more deeply about the mercies of God in times of crisis. To help guide us in this effort, we'll consider Paul David Tripp's collection of meditations from Psalm 27 called "A Shelter in the Time of Storm." You can get your own copy on Amazon here.
Psalm 27 is a psalm of trouble and worship, of difficulty and beauty, of the evil of people against people, and of the mercy of God. Because of its honesty about life in this fallen world, Psalm 27 speaks into the life of every believer. At the same time it places joyful and self-sacrificing worship right next to the trouble that is the psalm's background theme. This juxtaposition makes Psalm 27 unique, interesting, practical, challenging, and encouraging.
I'm not going to be reprinting the meditations in their entirety; I'll be pulling out some of my favorite parts, answering the recommended dicussion questions, and adding some of my own commentary. Whether you read the book yourself or just follow along with these posts, I'm confident you'll benefit from carefully considering the message of Psalm 27.
