GETTING YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT Part II

Key Passage: Psalm 27: 1 - 6

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? When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell. Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise against me, In this I will be confident. One thing I have desired of the LORD, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me.

There is no better place to be than in the presence of God. Even in times of trouble, a great privilege we can enjoy as God’s children is to hide under the shadows of His wings; for God is Light, Salvation, Strength and Refuge to His people.

At a critical time when life storms were raging and enemies were locking around, King David found God as the anchor of his soul. Consequently, he witnessed his enemies stumble and fall; he had no fear in the face of great oppositions; and he was confident to face the challenges of life before him. David identified the secret of his strength to be his resolve to stay in the presence of God, commune with Him and seek wisdom and direction from Him.

The presence of God is both a living fountain that springs forth life, strength, confidence and wisdom, and a secret pavilion where one is preserved from the wrath of ones foes. It is also a springboard that launches a person to great heights in life – above his enemies. The Scripture says, “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Ps 16:11). “Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place” 1 Chron 16:27 KJV).

Any time spent in God’s presence, in personal devotion, in meditating on His word, in talking to Him in prayer, in listening to His voice, or in praising, worshipping and adoring Him, is very precious. That is when many life battles are won and we all as believers are encouraged to treasure such a time.

Pray: Draw me, Lord, into your presence and enable me to drink from your living fountain; keep me in your pavilion and preserve me from the wrath of my foes.
