A Shelter in the Time of Storm
Psalm 27 is one of my favorite passages in the Bible; its confident expression of worship (One thing I have desired, this is what I seek) both encouraging and challenging me in my walk with the Lord. Paul David Tripp’s book A Shelter in the Time of Storm: Meditations on God and Trouble offers 52…
