Psalm 27:5 For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock. 6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
There are a few things we can learn from these two verses. The first thing we can learn is there will be a time of trouble. Regardless if a person has been saved for 20 years or 20 minutes, we all will experience a time of trouble.
However, in the time of trouble, there is hope. For the believer, God Himself hides us and sets us up on high places. Due to the fact that God has set us up on high places, we are lifted above our troubles. We have to believe this truth. We can’t stare at our problems and circumstances surrounding us and think they will eventually affect us. We have to believe that although our problems are present, they will not negatively impact our lives.
Finally, because we’re lifted above our troubles, a sacrifice of joy and praise to God should flow through our lips. We’re praising God for keeping us above our troubles; we’re praising God for honoring His Word, and we’re praising God that all things (troubles included) will work for our good.
