I’m in Trouble

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

Psalm 27:5

Psalm 27

I love this Psalm!

And right now it is — as “they” say — so for me.

“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?” (Psalm 27:1).

“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; 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 enquire in his temple” (Psalm 27:4).

“When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek” (Psalm 27:8).

“I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living” (Psalm 27:13).

“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD” (Psalm 27:14).

Oh, yeah?

Yes!

(But I still forget. Oh, how I forget!) 🙁

The Scriptures say in Psalm 27:11 -- Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path
from Psalm 27:11

For Rest,
Take His Yoke

For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is light.

Matthew 11:30

Reading:

Matthew 11:25-30

Will I be pleased and satisfied with what is good in God’s sight?

Am I prone to revel in the Son’s revelation of the Father to me?

How do those two questions relate to weariness and rest?

When was the last time I went to Jesus for rest?

Did I learn my meekness and lowliness from Jesus?

What is the connection between Jesus’ meekness and lowliness…and my soul’s rest?

“My yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:30) — Does my experience confirm that?
