Conceal Me
Like many of us, the writer of Psalm 27 knows trouble, as does Jesus when he is confronted by the
Pharisees a emp ng to scare him into being quiet or, at the very least, getting out of town (Luke 13:31).
Yet both the psalmist and Jesus do an odd thing when faced with threats: they stay the course. They
refuse to be swallowed up and swayed by fear. Instead, they root themselves in God, whose steadfast
love conceals and protects, whose love keeps their heads above water. As you listen to Avril Lavigne’s
“Head Above Water,” consider the storms in your life that you need God to protect you and sustain you
through. Do you trust that God will take care of you through those storms?
