In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins walks verse by verse through Psalm 27, a psalm of unwavering confidence in the Lord.

Even when enemies surround him and fear presses in, his confidence is not rooted in circumstances but in the character of God. In this devotional you will discover: • Confidence in the face of fear (Psalm 27:1–3) • One thing I seek — longing for God's presence (Psalm 27:4) • Safety in God's shelter (Psalm 27:5–6) • A cry for mercy and guidance (Psalm 27:7–12) • Waiting on the Lord with courage (Psalm 27:13–14) Psalm 27 ultimately points us to Christ, the Light of the world (John 8:12), the One who promises to never leave nor forsake His people (Hebrews 13:5), and the Savior who conquers fear, death, and judgment. Memory Verse "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?" — Psalm 27:1 Be encouraged to seek the Lord, trust His character, and wait confidently on His goodness.
