Psalm 27

"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?" You know, you probably don't have an army encamped against you. Nor do you have enemies looking to kill you. David was facing some serious trials in his life and he could have gotten all depressed and went to the doctor to get some pills to help him be happier and not think about all the bad stuff happening in his life. But no! David turns to God for his refuge and looks to the uncreated Creator for his peace and joy.

Where is your safe place? Is it in a bottle of wine or pills? It is common place in our society to fall prey to the worlds way of handling the pain and discomfort of life. We need to lift our voices to heaven with shouts of praise when the pressure of life starts looking a little bleak. We should be asking God to show us His ways and lead us on His path. There is victory for all that concerns you in worship. You and I can have a peaceful breakthrough to walk in joy and have peace in our lives through worship. 

So as life tries to throw you a curve ball today; catch it and throw it back. Start praising and worshiping God with a shout. Let our enemies know that our God is bigger then them.
