Pslam 25 cries out to God with the tenor of a lover who fails to know how to show his/her love to the Beloved. David cries, "make me to know Your ways, O Lord" with the same feeling as someone who feels inadequate to their love. So often, when we don't know how to show our love, we show it in inappropriate or at least non-specific terms which result in actually hurting the object of our love. That is the same thing with God - we cry out "How do we show our love to You?" and He responds, "Love my Church, Love your Neighbors".

Psalm 27 is about declaring that God is “the one for me”, a theme found in many different love songs. In these love songs, often the author of the love song sings about how he or she looked to others, but in the end, it was about “the one for me”. Jesus is our “the one for me”.

As we enter into Lent, we enter into it considering our own mortality that comes through our fall into sin, and how that fall has made us utterly afraid of death - but needlessly because we have a Savior who took death for us.
