1. My heart will not fear (1-3)

Fear is the true enemy of God's people and the opposite of faith. When the LORD is our light and salvation, we can depend on him to be our stronghold. Even in the most fearful situation we are protected from fear and have confidence in the LORD.

2. One thing do I seek (4-14)

When David was being advanced on and surrounded by his enemies, he did not only seek his own safety. Above all he sought God and his eternal beauty. He hoped in God who would be his safe dwelling. He rejoiced and worshipped the LORD. He teaches us to seek the LORD's face in our own circumstances, for the LORD never forsakes his own. He teaches us his ways and protects us. Though in this world we may face troubles-lies and malicious accusations-we wait for the LORD with confidence. When he is the stronghold of our life, we can be strong and take heart.


Application: LORD, thank you for being my light and my salvation. Bless me to seek you and wait for you with all my heart.
One Word: Seek the LORD and wait for him
