Psalms 27:1-6 (KJV) The Essential House of the LORD

Psalms 27:1-6 (KJV)
A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
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 enquire in his temple.
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.
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Notice the use of the terms: house of the Lord, temple, and tabernacle. I intend to view them as the local church.

• Fear is assuaged through faith in God
• Enemies such as the coronavirus stumble through faith in God

• Believers desire to dwell in, be at, and continue at the house of God
• Believers believe it is necessary to inquire of God in the temple
• Believers believe in hiding from trouble in the tabernacle 
• Believers will meet secretly if necessary, in the tabernacle
• Believers offer themselves a living sacrifice at the tabernacle

In short, our fears are abated, and our faith is bolstered in worship at the house of God. We consider such worship essential.
