Psalm 27: The Confidence of the Godly

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?

Psalm 27 is a showcase for the confidence David has in his God. Reading this psalm and meditating on its message helps us to understand that God wants us to be filled with confidence. Not confidence in ourselves or in the power of positive thought, as our culture would have us believe. But confidence in a sovereign and good God who is completely devoted to His children.

Here is how the godly can experience confidence in their lives through their relationship with God:

1. Confidence proclaimed (1)
2. Confidence in the face of opposition (2-3)
3. Confidence in worship (4)
4. Confidence in protection (5)
5. Confidence in victory (6)
6. Confidence in prayer (7)
7. Confidence in acceptance (8-10)
8. Confidence in going forward (11-12)
9. Confidence in the future (13-14)
