Day 124: February 7, 2026 – I Chronicles 6-10 and Psalm 27

We could dwell on the genealogies that take us through Saul and into David, but we pretty much know what they say. There are some interesting tidbits that we can gather from them: the singers of the choirs in the temple, those who made the temple and prepared that which was to go into it. But for the most part I would love to spend most of my time in Psalm 27. It is probably one of my favorite Psalms and one that I use the most in my ministry. There is a real sense of deliverance and protection in Psalm 27, along with the very real encouragement to “wait on the Lord”. This command, of waiting on the Lord, is probably the most ignored commandment that we face. We struggle to wait, especially in our culture of being told that we can have whatever we want, whenever we want, and however we want it. As the Psalmist says: I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! This is a great way to start your day!
