Thanks for your patience. My surgery was successful and I am well along the road to recovery. Today’s TFTD is quite appropriate: “I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” (Psalm 27:13-14 NIV). The Message translates this passage: “I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
I don’t know what issues you may face today. Perhaps, like me, you are struggling with a health related issue, or maybe you are having difficulties on the job. Maybe you are struggling with financial or family issues. Whatever your struggle, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
Having said that, let me assure you that waiting on the Lord is sometimes one of the most difficult disciplines of the Christian life! Had I been in Moses sandals for instance, I think I would have advised the people of Israel to “swim for it!” How difficult it would be to stand still when certain destruction was coming swiftly upon you!
You may have heard the story of little Billy, who when pressed by his mother as to what he had learned that day in Sunday School, responded, “Well, we learned that Moses was stuck by the Red Sea. Pharaoh’s army was coming toward them, so Moses called for the Israelis Air Force to lay down a ring of fire to keep Pharaoh back. Then he called for the Israelis Army Corp. Of Engineers to build a bridge across the sea. He also had the Israelis demolition crews place high explosives in critical places along the bridge. When that was done, he ordered the people to cross. After they got on the far side, he called off the Jets. Then, when Pharaoh’s army was half-way across the bridge, he blew it, sending them all into the sea and drowning them!”
Billy’s mother was shocked. She said, “Billy, is that what they really taught you today?” To which the young lad sheepishly replied, “Well ..... no. But you should have heard what they tried to get us to believe!”
You know, I fear there is a little Billy in all of us isn’t there? Over and over again I experience God’s goodness in my life, yet, sadly, over and over again, when the chips are down, I find myself plotting and planning and many time fretting over circumstances over which I have no control.
Whatever your situation today: “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”

Never Abandoned
“Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.” (Psalm 27:10 NIV).
The Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) puts this verse, “Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord cares for me.”
While it is unthinkable for most of us to even consider being abandoned by our parents, the sad truth is it happens to thousands around the world everyday. A young mother gives birth, bundles her baby in blankets and then leaves it on the streets for someone hopefully to find. The children of a drug addict are sold for the price of a fix. Harsh words are said, relationships broken, and a father and his son are alienated. On and on the sad scenarios continue. The pain, the loss can be emotionally crippling for those who experience this deepest kind of rejection.
Against this unthinkable (but all too possible) backdrop of being rejected by those who should love us, God contrasts His great love for us. Though because of sin there is nothing to commend us to God, no reason He should take us in, still He does! He accepts us no matter who else rejects us! He accepts us even when we reject ourselves. He loves us. He cares for us.
As I write these words our choir is practicing a song by Chris Rice, (Word Music, 2002), entitled the Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus). The words go, “Weak and wounded sinner lost and left to die, raise your head, for Love is passing by. Come to Jesus, come to Jesus, come to Jesus and live.”
“Now your burdens lifted and carried far away, and precious blood has washed away the satin. So sing to Jesus, sing to Jesus, sing to Jesus and live.” Marvelous song. That is just the first two verses. Skip now to the forth verse, “Sometimes the way is lonely, and steep and filled with pain. So if your day is dark and pours the rain–Cry to Jesus, cry to Jesus, cry to Jesus and live.”
I don’t know what tears may fill your eyes today, what heartache or sorrow you have, but I do know this: there is One who loves you, who accepts you, who will never abandon you (Hebrews 12:5). Run to Him. Find Divine comfort–it’s the only comfort that will last.
The last verse of Mr. Rice’s marvelous song concludes, “And with your final heart-beat, kiss the world good-bye, then go in peace, and laugh on glory’s side, and fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus and live.” Oh, listen, if death cannot alienate from Him nothing can!

When Trouble Comes
“For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.” (Psalm 27:5 NIV).
I’ve used it before, but the quote by Alan Redpath comes to mind as I read this Psalm: "There is nothing -- no circumstance, no trouble, no testing -- that can touch me until, first of all it has gone past God and past Christ, right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with some great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no trial will ever disarm me, no circumstance will cause me to fret, for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is."
God promises to keep His children even when they are in trouble. Notice this: God’s promise is not to keep us from trouble but to protect us when we are in trouble. Marvelous promise. It doesn’t work. Got your attention? Read on.
There are times when we face difficulties and it may seem to us that God’s promise has failed. Certainly that is true when we face death in any form but particularly true when death comes violently. What about the promise then? Has God failed His child? What about victims of violent crimes? Has God abandoned them? Forgotten them? It would certainly seem so, particularly to those who are hurting.
But what may seem real to us in experience does not change the reality of God’s promise. God made us with eternity in mind, and the sooner we get this view the sooner we will begin to realize in our emotions the reality of His promises.
Let me illustrate. As an adult, I put aside my childish fears of the dark a long time ago. My reason and intellect tell me there is nothing to fear. Dark, no matter how black it may be, cannot hurt me. I know that. Yet there are times and circumstances where, even as an adult, that creepy feeling rises up within me. The hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and a chill of terror courses through my body. It is not that my reason has failed, it is my imagination begins to play games with my emotions; my intellectual reasoning powers at that moment bow to my feelings. What I know becomes clouded by what I am feeling.
That same experience haunts my Christian life as well. There are times that what I know, that which I have become absolutely convinced of, falls prey to the pain of hurt and my emotions threaten to eclipse my knowledge. That is where faith comes in. Faith is not as some would have us believe a blind leap in the dark. Faith is the ability to keep on believing what I know to be true when every fiber of imagination and emotion within me is screaming, “the promises have failed! God has deserted you! Quit this foolish ‘pie in the sky hope.’ (Understand here that such emotions are fueled and fanned by the devil whose plan from the beginning has been to get mankind to question what God says and/or promises.)
Why do men even have ‘pie in the sky hope?’ I believe it is because God has set eternity in our hearts. (See Ecclesiastes 3:11). Our problem is we have spent so much time living for this temporary world that we have all but lost the conscious view of eternity. Still it calls to us in our souls. Evil men deride it and sometimes good men begin to doubt it, but the reality of it remains. And it is in this reality that the promise of God still rests! Notice David’s insight: “For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.”
God has not promised us all sunshine and roses in this life. Just the opposite. In Genesis 3 God told mankind in effect, “O.K., you wanted to see what life would be like if you were in charge? Fine. From this moment on you will struggle, you will suffer and you will die. The reason for this is because I know, and I want you to know, that your sense of worth, your sense of happiness, your sense of accomplishment can only be found when you walk in right relations with Me.”
God’s promises never fail. Deliverance may seem delayed because we measure it by time. But remember this: God views it the way we were meant to view it: from the perspective of eternity. Because of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, you can be sure of this: in the day of trouble He will keep you safe and that safety eventually will be fully realized when we stand face to face with Him in His dwelling; in heaven.

Considering Ministry?
“One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.” (Psalm 27:4 NIV).
All of us have secret ambitions. Things we would like to do or accomplish. At times we may even find ourselves daydreaming over them. Generally those dreams have to do with recognition and fame. What a surprise then to find the king of Israel daydreaming about being able to spend all of his days in temple service! Look at our text again. David isn’t praying about eternity, he is praying about his life today. How do we know that? The qualifying phrase that his desire is to “dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.” The king of Israel daydreams about being a priest in Israel! Amazing. We looked at this yesterday. Today I want to look at the second application.
Some of you reading this thought are considering the possibility of ministry as a career. Today’s thought is specifically for you. David was king of Israel, but his hearts desire was to serve in the temple. Charles Haddon Spurgeon once said, “If God calls you to preach, don’t stoop to become king.” David was the king, but his hearts desire was to be in the temple full-time. Did David want to be a priest? Perhaps, but anything we say here is speculation. My speculation is that this musician/song writer wanted to serve in the music ministry of the temple. All this is speculation. What is not speculation is that his desire is to “dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.” Now, remember as we work through this thought today that David is described as “A man after God’s own heart.” Certainly one would think that such a man should be tapped for full-time ministerial service. Such thinking is a grave mistake. Certainly such a man would be tapped for full time service to the Lord, but, as in David’s case, that service is where God can use him best not necessarily in what we call full time service today, and by that we mean generally the ministry.
Every Christian is called to full time service for the Lord. It doesn’t matter if you are a pastor, missionary, youth worker, sales-man, politician, physician, lawyer, factory worker, or garbage collector. If you are a Christian, you are in full time service. The Bible says, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” (Colossians 3:23-24 NIV). Personally, I think one of the reasons that David was a man after God’s own heart was because he didn’t allow his desires to hinder his occupation. He didn’t allow the daydream to cloud his call, which was to be king not priest.
So, you who are considering full time ministry as your career, how do you know if your desire is really a call? There is, as we see in David’s case, a difference. Allow me a moment to answer this question from my experience which I believe to be based upon biblical principles.
First, any call of God to ministry should be definite. I do not believe God calls people through nebulous desires. Nine out of ten people who enter my office seeking guidance about going into Christian ministry have noble desires but cannot pinpoint a definite call. Take it from one who has been in the ministry since 1968 (that’s when I began part-time Christian service), if you don’t have a definite call, you will become discouraged and quit. There are easier ways to die. Someone once said that ministers have to have “the heart of a child, the mind of a scholar and the hide of a rhinoceros.” There is more truth to that then you know. Your call must be incontrovertible.
Second, those called to service must be qualified. David was a man after God’s own heart, but that did not qualify him to serve in the temple. Only those of the tribe of Levi were qualified to serve in the temple. From this example I think it is safe to say that God has made it plain that those who desire to serve Him in ministry must meet certain requirements. Most of these are listed in 1 Timothy 3 and in Titus 1. In our culture there are educational requirements as well (as there should be. Even the Levites who were called to temple service were not permitted to serve in certain areas until they reached the age of 30. Why? They had to be tested, proved and prepared. That is what theological education accomplishes today.)
Third, those who are called must be recognized by the church. Even though my call to the ministry was definite, I did not realize it until after the church began to say to me, “God has His hand on you.” There was in my experience numerous times when God’s people came to me encouraging me to pursue service when I didn’t think I had anything to offer. I did not go to the church and ask them to recognize me, they came to me and said, “we recognize that God has placed something in you and we want to encourage you to pursue it.” Too often I find young men getting the process backward. They go to the church and demand recognition instead of submitting to God and waiting for the church’s conformation. Desire, no matter how great, does not constitute a call from God. One man once confidently approached a minister and declared, “God has called me to preach.” When the minister inquired as to the nature of that call, the man replied, “I was out in my field and looked up into the sky and saw in the clouds G-P-C--Go preach Christ.” To which the minister replied, “How do you know that wasn’t “Go plow corn?” God uses prepared people. Here’s what I know: if you are not willing to submit to the requirements of effective ministry (specifically higher theological education) you are not called to ministry.

The qualifying phrase that his desire is to “dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.” The king of Israel daydreams about being a priest in Israel! Amazing. I want to make two very different applications of this verse. We’ll look at the first today and the second tomorrow.
Amazing that the king of Israel above all else desires to be in the place of worship. We see this throughout his writings. “I love the house where you live, O Lord, the place where your glory dwells.” (Psalm 26:8 NIV). “I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord.’” (Psalm 122:1 NKJV). Most of us daydream in church hoping to get out as soon as possible. David daydreamed about church, desiring to get in as soon as possible! Do you see the disparity here?
When you attend the house of worship (and I assume you do), what is your attitude? Are you like David and can’t wait to get there? Or are you like the hordes of people who attend out of a sense of obligation and you can’t wait to get out of there?
Now you know I have to ask this: what makes the difference? Focus. If we attend the worship service with our focus on ourselves (what we would rather be doing, wondering if “I’m going to get anything out of this?” etc.,) then the service, no matter how short, will seem interminably long. On the other hand, if our focus is where it should be, on God, then like David, we will find ourselves thinking we can never get enough.
