--WHO IS THIS MAN CALLED JESUS the CHRIST?

-------IN TIME OF TROUBLE ~~
--"For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion; in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock." (Psalm 27:5)

--David expresses his confidence in the Lord, even in times of trials, hardship, and persecution.

-First, David had a heart for God. "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple" (v.4).

--Secondly, is the nature of God Himself. God, by His very nature, hates evil and extends grace toward His own. He is pictured here as a warrior conquering the evil enemies of David. His laws forbid their actions; His gospel robbed these evildoers of their grip; His final kingdom will be rid of them.

In our text, David is hidden in the Lord's "pavilion." The word, which literally means a protective covering, was used for the tent of the Commander-in-Chief. Hidden in His pavilion, we are as safe as He. He sees to it that we are not frightened (v.13) amid the din of battle, and we shall share in the ultimate victory.

In this world, we have tumultuous war; in the next, unbroken peace. Assured of the outcome, we can "wait on the LORD; and be of good courage" (v.14).
