"I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living." The"land of the living", in a world of people dead in trespasses and sins. Sounds to me like witnessing the grace and mercy of God in the lives of other believers,becomes our expectation that the same God we see in the lives of others, is with us also, and our turn for his attention is always near.
In the beginning God - He alone - His rule is everlasting, His will be done - He knows the heart of man - He created our beginnings and end ....He will not leave or forsake - He knows our most deepest inner thoughts - He is Lord over our lives once we allow him to reign - Wait on the Lord
Barbara; how blessed you are to have had an Aunt who loved the Lord Jesus, and recited Bible to you as a child! You will see her again, and you will have a happy, happy reunion; all in new glorified bodies, and forever with the Lord. Let His Word dwell in you richly, and hold Him close in everything you do; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Don't be afraid for the times; Jesus is coming!
This is a psalm of comfort and encouragement. Especially verse 13 where it says i would have fainted,or been discouraged or given up,if had not believed that i will see the goodness of the lord in the land of the living.Glory to God.
Thank you Jesus for your words. The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall i fear. The Lord is the strength of my life whom shall I be afraid of. Amen praise you Jesus i will never stop seeking your face you are my life the rock and my salvation i will trust you forever Lord help me to be born again in spirit thank you for your blood Jesus and thank you for your resurrection amen
The Lord just gave me this psalm to encourage me. I am not working and seeking a job. I been have been on many interviews, but still with a job. I have sick for the past 2years. God is God he will give me his heart's desire.
I am really touched by ALL of David's Psalms! But this one, 27, is the one MOST APPLICABLE to my life from day one. I have enemies, but God is my shield; I have family that has forsaken me, but God has clearly took me up; I am EXCITED about the day that will cometh that I can behold the beauty of the Lord; Finally, the Lord is my light and my salvation and I am patiently WAITING on him; Be Blessed

This whole chapter amazing! Keys to safety and faith in protection are: salvation, strength, whom?, They stumbled, pavilion - resting place, confident, rock, Lord took me up, secret pavilion, hide me, and finally: "wait".
The commonality to faith in GOD IS TO WAIT THROUGH ALL OF LIFE. Follow the steps of peace road or don't move.
