Psalm 27..what it means to dwell in his house forever? To always to be in Gods presence. The psalmist knew that being in the presence of God ensures a comfort, peace, protection would be his always. This came about because of the relationship he had with his creator, where a supernatural sense of trust in the Almighty is cultivated. This trust and relationship is nurtured and strengthened by the exercise and discipline of religion . The psalmist one thing "to be in Gods presence always" to be able to see the beauty of God and to receive directions as to the path to pursue. When trust is kept private and unspoken, and unshared, it runs the risk of becoming decayed.Trust needs to be strengthened by the sharing with others, and with God through fellowship with believers and a daily set apart time spent in the presence of God (devotion),Here we acknowledge with our mouths prayers of affirmation to our Sovereign God, who he is, what he means to us and the confidence and comfort we experience after The psalmist also expects to experience a life long relationship with God as he regularly offers unto Him sacrifices of Praise. B....What does it mean to "seek his face". To earnestly seek an audience with Jehovah El-lohim our creator,He who seek to have also an intimate with His people. David had a desire and so should we, for a face to face meeting with God, a desire for a personal intimate relationship. He also wanted reassurance from God that He would not take away the comfort of His presence, but would lead him safely through his tests and struggles. C...How does David provide hope at the end? Because of his attitude towards God in spite of his struggles,he was confident that he would experience the abundance of life in the now while still alive , an abundance which Christ taught us in John 10 :10 . He knew that in trusting God he would be kept safe from the lies the devil would want to instill in his mind to create doubts the opposite of faith. David was confident that he would receive the blessings by drawing closer to Him in worship both privately as well as publicly. He now encourages us to patiently put our trust ,our hope in God who always keeps His promises so be 'strong' 'take courage'.David knew that we are weak in times of struggles and finds it hard to wait therefore this encouragement was necessary ,despite our conviction . This praise and prayer evokes the reality in whose life Faith lives- the salvation of the Lord..

psalm 139 is a personal expression of a radical belief of the existence of one God .it shows human existence in all terms of Gods knowledge, presence and power.This Psalm is even more a devotional classic, as when used as a prayer it gives and nurtures an awareness of the Lord as the total environment of life.It teaches and confesses in the fullest way that God holds our life in His hand. The Psalm is composed of two parts , firstly is the relationship between the psalmist and God and secondly the relationship of God to man. verse 13-16...speaks of the self as an object of Gods action. It shows the value of life - my life (1) Gods power is seen in the creation of man,it's because of Gods Divine activity in the creation of man that He knows every minute detail about us, and is always present (omnipresent) with us.These verses reflects Gods love and intimacy, (13b) "you knit me together in my mothers womb) shows the love and care God took in creating us, an intricate,intimate formation..David came to the knowledge of Gods power.he also saw the uniqueness of himself.such care is because of God has a plan and purpose for each person. this again demonstrates Gods power(omnipotent) as the powerful creator He is.This care also shows Gods immanence.( As he surrenders his all to God he's asking to do now a total cleansing of heart and to place him back on the right path ,a path of Holy living dedicated to God conforming to his will in order to attain eternal life.
