ECWA Food for the Day – 30th July, 2025

WEDNESDAY, 30 JULY

 TEXT: PSALM 27:1-14

 TOPIC: ONE THING I ASK FROM THE LORD.

The passion of David’s life was to dwell in God’s presence. He used the house of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the dwelling and sacred tent of the Lord to symbolize God’s presence and affirm that wherever God chose to reveal Himself, that was where he wanted to be.

The psalmist was surrounded by opponents with no prospect of escape, from the human standpoint. But he remained confident and fearless since he had God as his dwelling place. 

The enemies are a distraction from what is most important to the psalmist, the one thing he always asked for: being able to enter and remain in the house of the Lord.

In Africa, people are always afraid of one thing or another. Africans need to read Psalm 27, especially from verses one to three.

 QUESTION

Are you always afraid of going to your village because of demonic attacks?

 PRAYER

As an antidote against fear, one thing I ask for, dear Lord, is to dwell in Your presence.
