Psalm 27 ends with the call to, “be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
This is something we must all learn to do since God does not usually respond to prayer according to our timetable which seeks an immediate answer.
Warren Wiersbe has said, “God’s delays are not God’s denials,” and David was learning that important lesson in Psalm 28.
Message Points:
- The Silence He Fears
- The Justice He Desires
- The Praise He Offers
- The People He Remembers
Application Questions:
- Can you think of a times when God seemed to be silent in response to your prayers? How did you respond? How should we respond?
- How do you react to David’s prayer in verses 3-5? Why do we feel uncomfortable with this kind of praying today? What would such prayers for God’s justice look like in our society and context?
- “Listen to me O house of Jacob, all you who remain of the house of Israel you whom I have upheld since you were conceived and have carried since your birth. Even to your old age and grey hairs I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” (Isaiah 46:3-4)
How do these words encourage and comfort you today?
